Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha Tenor Venova™.
The Venova is a totally new type of wind instrument that offers expressiveness
of single reed instrument using a simple recorder-like fingering system. Com-
pared to conventional wind instruments, it offers easier maintenance and greater
durability. With its deeper bass sounds than the Alto Venova, the Tenor Venova
lets you enjoy performing music in a wonderfully new way.
For instruction on the proper assembly of the instrument, and how to keep the
instrument in optimum condition for as long as possible, we urge you to read this
Owner’s Manual thoroughly. After reading it, keep it in a safe place for future ref-
erence.
