The Nuvo jHorn is the ideal first step for children and beginners looking to learn most any brass instrument. While it offers a child-friendly design and weight, the jHorn effectively produces an accurate, rich brass tone similar to tenor trombone and euphonium, making it an excellent option for instruction and performances. Similarly, three entire octaves of notes open the door for a variety of beginner music compositions and skill development. Sweetwater Academy of Music & Technology instructors especially love the jHorn's standard brass fingering, which promotes comfortable play and paves the way for correct positioning techniques. Best of all, an included set of C-tubes and a multi-cup mouthpiece provide all the tools you need to start your musical journey.

Perfect for beginners and young musicians





The jHorn's built-in brass fingering and introductive build make it the perfect option for musical beginners, petite players, and school ensembles. Its authentic tone provides 3 octaves of sound, making it suitable for several practice and performance applications. Shorter finger stretches also remove many of the challenges that standard-size instruments pose to younger musicians, which can help aid practice, boost motivation, and promote skill development. Got a large group? No problem: the jSax is easily washable with soap and water, making it ideal for shared instrument situations.
