The new NuvoBand wind instruments are com- fortable to play and durable so they can be kept out of the case and grabbed for a quick practice whenever inspira- tion strikes. Made from specially developed plas- tics with a high strength-to-weight ratio and acoustic properties, the NuvoBand series accurately replicates the sound of traditional instruments while providing the benefits of being lightweight, dura- ble and comfortable.
