Graham and Max came together by chance in 2008 and decided to collaborate on the founding of NUVO with a mission to bring more children into music by making instruments more suitable.
It is with sadness that we announce that Graham passed away on 13 June 2024 after a short illness. Read more in the news article here.
Graham was our Founding Father and his legacy lives on in the 100’s of thousands of children who have benefitted from using NUVO instruments over the years. We treasure the memories working and travelling together and will honor him by continuing to innovate and produce instruments that will help bring more music to more kids around the world.
The NUVO Dood is a brand new concept for single reed music performance. A natural next step for a child playing the recorder, the Dood is a great way to introduce single-reed skills at an early age.

The Dood has recorder-like fingering with a simple yet durable key system that helps small fingers to cover the holes. The instrument is in the key of C and is fully chromatic over one octave with extra notes in the second register. There are 100’s of tunes you can play with the Dood and you can find many familiar and new ones in WindStars.
The Dood uses the same mouthpiece and reed system as the Clarinéo. Two NUVO resin reeds a fingering chart and a case are included. Fully waterproof so can be washed frequently with warm soapy water. You may also want to try the synthetic reed by Légère which fits all NUVO instruments.

The NUVO Toot is the sister instrument of the Dood. For a child ready to progress from the recorder, this is the perfect next step to ultimately playing the flute.
The set includes the NUVO Firstnote lip plate which can be used in the early lessons while the student is learning posture, fingering and playing simple tunes. When ready, the Firstnote can be replaced by the regular lip plate which is also included. See video
The Toot and Dood together can bring a whole new sound to the recorder ensemble and give younger children the chance to learn important woodwind skills at an early age. See WindStars for lots of music that can be played by the Toot and Dood.
