Choose Your Venova

Compact and lightweight: easy to transport

The Venova is easy to transport because it is roughly 1/8 the weight of a conventional saxophone. At just 460 mm for the YVS-100, 590 mm for the YVS-120 and 697 mm for the YVS-140, the Venova is more compact than conventional saxophones.

A rich, expressive tone that plays naturally

Like the saxophone, the Venova is a single-reed instrument that sounds different depending on how hard or soft you blow. The fully chromatic two-octave range lets you enjoy playing a wide variety of tunes.
