The Nuvo Toot is the ideal next step for children and beginners looking to play the flute. While it offers a child-friendly design and weight, the Toot effectively produces an accurate, rich flute tone, making it an excellent option for instruction and performances. Similarly, an entire octave-and-a-half of notes opens the door for a variety of beginner music compositions and skill development. Sweetwater Academy of Music & Technology instructors especially love the Toot’s standard lip plate, which promotes comfortable play and paves the way for correct positioning techniques. Best of all, an included set of silicone keys, a Firstnote lip plate, and an instrument case provide all the tools you need to start your musical journey.

Perfect for beginners and young musicians





The Toot’s included lip plate and introductive build make it the perfect option for musical beginners, petite players, and school ensembles. Its authentic flute tone provides an octave-and-a-half of sound, making it suitable for several practice and performance applications. Shorter finger stretches and silicone keys on the Toot remove many of the challenges that standard-size instruments pose to younger musicians, thus helping to aid practice, boost motivation, and promote skill development. Got a large group? No problem: the Toot is easily washable with soap and water, making it ideal for shared instrument situations.
