The NUVOBand FLUTE is approximately half the weight of a traditional flute. It is constructed from a lightweight but strong engineering polymer blended specifically for a high strength-to-weight ratio while maintaining good acoustic properties.
The embouchure hole is cut to encourage beginners but also to provide a rich and responsive tone in all registers up to intermediate level.
The NUVOBand FLUTE also features carefully positioned silicone comfort pads to ensure a secure grip to maximize comfort and good posture during practice sessions and performance.
The FLUTE is stored in the padded carrying case in 3 pieces which are oriented for easy and intuitive assembly and disassembly.

Always follow the recommendations of your local disease prevention center and health authorities. The following recommendations are provided to properly disinfect NUVO instruments.
1. Hot Soap and Water
Unlike traditional woodwind and brass instruments, NUVO instruments can be fully submerged in a hot soap and water mixture. This is a very effective way to ensure that the entire instrument’s surface (both inside and out) is cleaned. The reeds, mouthpieces, lip plates and headjoints can also be fully submerged. Allow the instruments and mouthpieces to air dry.
2. Dishwasher
NUVO instruments can be cleaned using the top rack of the dishwasher. However, please DO NOT use the heated dry cycle as this can damage adhesive parts and thin plastic edges. Allow the instruments to air dry. If adhesive parts should separate during the cleaning process, the parts can easily be replaced.
3. Alcohol Wipes and Mouthpiece Cleaners
You can use any mouthpiece cleaner on NUVO instruments as well as alcohol wipes. We recommend wiping off the mouthpieces with an alcohol wipe at the beginning and end of each class. More thorough washing with hot water or the dishwasher can be done between classes.
