Innovative Wind Instrument Captures the Tone of Saxophone

The Alto Venova is made from rugged ABS plastic with a unique design that beautifully mimics the tone and playability of a saxophone. With its innovative design, this award-winning instrument delivers an authentic saxophone experience that's fun for beginners and experienced players alike. The YVS-120 sports a larger body and alto sax mouthpiece, giving it a lower, more mellow sound. The ingenious "branched pipe" tubing design shortens the distance between tone holes, making it possible to play the entire range of notes with fewer keys. This simpler fingering system is akin to a recorder's system, making it incredibly accessible for those who've never played a wind instrument before.

Easy to clean

Not only is it fun to play, but here at Sweetwater, we love how easy it is to keep the Alto Venova clean. With its durable ABS resin body, synthetic resin reed, and water-safe pads, you can wash the Venova without worrying about water damage. The body also separates into two pieces, making it even easier to clean each section.

Yamaha YVS-120 Alto Venova Wind Instrument Features:

  • Truly unique, innovative instrument captures the tone of a genuine saxophone
  • Lightweight, portable design ideal for travel to any destination
  • Unique "meandering/branched pipe" design mimics the tone and playability of a saxophone beautifully
  • Pipe design shortens the distance between tone holes, making it possible to play the entire range of notes with fewer keys
  • Simpler fingering system is akin to a recorder's, making learning for those who may have never tried a wind instrument much easier
  • 2-piece ABS resin body for easy cleaning and storage
  • Included mouthpiece, synthetic resin reed, and synthetic pads are water safe

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Rated 4/5

Please read my review!

Love this instrument! It is an excellent practice tool. The fingerings are simple, the resin body is lightweight AND very durable, and the artificial mouthpiece is pretty good, too.

I would recommend this to more intermediate and experienced players. While it feels beginner-friendly, the instruments' voice plays in F instead of Eb (like a traditional Alto Saxophone).

Yamaha has really made another incredible instrument and practice tool.
