Getting Started (Ages 2 - 5+)
Nuvo Toot 2.0
The Nuvo Toot is the perfect introductory instrument for very young players (especially those who live with flute players and want to join in the fun!)
The Nuvo Toot's sturdy, washable design makes it an excellent, economical way to explore music and early flute concepts.
The Toot includes a "Firstnote" lip plate (similar to a record mouthpiece) which directs the airstream into the instrument, making getting those very first notes easier. When ready, the "Firstnote" lip plate can be replaced by the regular flute-like lip plate which is also included.
*Safety First! Please supervise very young players.

Guo Shining Piper
The Guo Shining Piper is a KJWR favourite!
This fully chromatic (fife fingerings) 2.5+ octave instrument is perfect for children who've moved beyond the Nuvo Toot, but are still too small for a full sized flute.
The Shining Piper feature strong, but lightweight flute-like keywork, is perfect to introduce playing techniques that will carry over to full sized flutes. The headjoint features an embouchure that is "flute & piccolo friendly" making future transitions easy.
The Shining Piper is also the perfect travel / camping etc. instruments for teens adults.
They're also fantastic for those looking to start all-ages fife choirs.
