NUVO Cleaning Guidelines

Always follow the recommendations of your local disease prevention center and health authorities. The following recommendations are provided to properly disinfect NUVO instruments.

1. Hot Soap and Water

Unlike traditional woodwind and brass instruments, NUVO instruments can be fully submerged in a hot soap and water mixture. This is a very effective way to ensure that the entire instrument’s surface (both inside and out) is cleaned. The reeds, mouthpieces, lip plates and headjoints can also be fully submerged. Allow the instruments and mouthpieces to air dry.

2. Dishwasher

NUVO instruments can be cleaned using the top rack of the dishwasher. However, please DO NOT use the heated dry cycle as this can damage adhesive parts and thin plastic edges. Allow the instruments to air dry. If adhesive parts should separate during the cleaning process, the parts can easily be replaced.

3. Alcohol Wipes and Mouthpiece Cleaners

You can use any mouthpiece cleaner on NUVO instruments as well as alcohol wipes. We recommend wiping off the mouthpieces with an alcohol wipe at the beginning and end of each class. More thorough washing with hot water or the dishwasher can be done between classes.

The Clarinéo 2.0 The NUVO Clarinéo 2.0 is a clarinet in the key of C and is ideal for young starters ages 4 to 12 years. It is much lighter and smaller than a Bb clarinet which means the finger stretches are shorter and the tone holes smaller. This takes away a lot of the physical challenges of the Bb clarinet while encouraging kids to practice more and develop the skills and enthusiasm they will need when they are ready to step up. It can give a child up to three years head start on learning the clarinet. Since the fingering is the same, the transition to Bb clarinet is quick and easy when they are ready. The Clarinéo has a rich, mellow tone just like a traditional clarinet and can play 3½ octaves fully chromatic. That’s enough for Mozarts’ Clarinet Concerto! The kit comes with two NUVO synthetic reeds as well as a cane reed. As with all NUVO reed instruments standard Eb clarinet reeds will work. The instrument is easy and inexpensive to maintain as well as being 100% washable in warm soapy water. This makes them ideal in school programs where children might be sharing instruments.
