I picked up an original bright blue Nuvo flute about 6 years ago because I saw pictures of it online and was intrigued. I was amazed at how good it sounded, although I did have to work a bit harder to get a similar sound to my professional model flute. About a year ago I succumbed to the lure of the darker blue newer model, with the reports of it having a better sound, and I like this one even better. I wish these flutes had been around when I was a beginner, many decades ago, and particularly in high school marching band. The Nuvo makes a great traveling and "goofing off" flute. I feel comfortable taking it along on adventures where I would hesitate to take the good flute. If I accidentally drop it into a creek when hiking, it will not be harmed. In fact, the original bright blue Nuvo was baptized with me in the Jordan River on my 2015 trip to Israel.

Thank you for this review!! The tone on that Jflute says it all!

I just had to drop a comment to say that you guys have a very good vibe. Very good review

I LOVE my doughnut flute! I leave it out all the time and pick it up to play many times a day. Thanks for your review!

Great and really informative video by experts!

You guys are awesome great review and very sweet and watchable. You guys are naturals on camera.

They all sound really good for student flutes, especially for the price, but there is a significant improvement in the new models. I’m going to get one for myself. Thanks for the review.

Thank you for the awesome review! My 7-year-old wishes to learn flute, and I have been looking for a good beginner flute for her.

Great review I am getting mine tomorrow the jflute. I also purchased the upgrade if I want to change it. I will demo it on my channel. I am so excited! 😀😀👍

Brilliant because I've just purchased the new donut 2.0 version flute in black ☺️🙂

This flute so wonderful. I can batter Play with the Nuvo flute 2.0

When the child grows big enough for a full-length flute, you can buy the head and foot joints for the Nuvo Student Flute separately and transform those beginner flutes into a full-length student flute.

i’m a bit late since i’ve already placed my order for the dark blue nuvo model, but the comments are definitely encouraging me that i’ve made the right choice :D

Thanks for this! I teach flute in Japan to elementary-high school. I love the donut! I have has no success with the J silver adaptation for short students! Could you tell me about the amount of incut in the embouchure hole? Also is the 2.0 a bit thinner than the 1.0? Thanks so much!

A very good comparison, best part is having a non-fluetist involved giving her impression; truly good idea.

For suggestion on future videos: dislike the regular "popping" sound when text appears. Painful if wearing headphones. I do like the tone of the new jFlute much better than the older version.

Well adding the optional fit joint and straight head to the j flute make it the same as the student flute 2.0? Help?

Can you get a Nuvo with a B foot?

Etude Model EFL-100 are still $120. Have you tried them?

in the low register, jflute can play D but no C right? but the nuvo student flute can? i'm having a hard time trying to decide which one to buy. what is your advice? thx

Bellissimi x i bambini piccoli!....

how much is the price in SGD?

This makes me wonder if regular alto or bass flutes might benefit from such a donut shaped headpiece?

Hi!! thank you for your video! Helped me a lot! One question: do you know if I can use the headjoint from my silver flute on this Nuvo flute? Or even a wooden head joint? I mean, do the Nuvo flute body adapt to other headjoints? Thank you in advance!

😄👏👏👏👏thank you

What is the diff between flute student and jflute?

Hi! Can I use other headjoints with nuvo student flute?

I don't know, but i cannot do A, Bb , B (third octave) and C (4th octave). Is it only me like that?

1. J flute + straight head joint and c foot joint 2. Student flute + donat head joint Which one should i buy?

J head. Where is the bottom joint? It's missing. Where is the C and sharp? They're not there. What kind of a flute is this ? 😮😮😮😮
