I picked up an original bright blue Nuvo flute about 6 years ago because I saw pictures of it online and was intrigued. I was amazed at how good it sounded, although I did have to work a bit harder to get a similar sound to my professional model flute. About a year ago I succumbed to the lure of the darker blue newer model, with the reports of it having a better sound, and I like this one even better. I wish these flutes had been around when I was a beginner, many decades ago, and particularly in high school marching band. The Nuvo makes a great traveling and "goofing off" flute. I feel comfortable taking it along on adventures where I would hesitate to take the good flute. If I accidentally drop it into a creek when hiking, it will not be harmed. In fact, the original bright blue Nuvo was baptized with me in the Jordan River on my 2015 trip to Israel.
That's exactly why I bought a jFlute 2.0 (they call it the 'dougnut flute' in this video). I wanted a flute I could take on holiday and to the beach and not worry about sand and salt.
They all sound really good for student flutes, especially for the price, but there is a significant improvement in the new models. I’m going to get one for myself. Thanks for the review.
Great review I am getting mine tomorrow the jflute. I also purchased the upgrade if I want to change it. I will demo it on my channel. I am so excited! 😀😀👍
The jFlute 2.0 comes with a D foot joint and a 'dougnut' mouthpiece. The Student Flute comes with a straight mouthpiece and a C foot joint. These parts are interchangeable, and I think you can buy the C foot joint separately.
i’m a bit late since i’ve already placed my order for the dark blue nuvo model, but the comments are definitely encouraging me that i’ve made the right choice :D
Thanks for this! I teach flute in Japan to elementary-high school. I love the donut! I have has no success with the J silver adaptation for short students! Could you tell me about the amount of incut in the embouchure hole? Also is the 2.0 a bit thinner than the 1.0? Thanks so much!
When the child grows big enough for a full-length flute, you can buy the head and foot joints for the Nuvo Student Flute separately and transform those beginner flutes into a full-length student flute.
in the low register, jflute can play D but no C right? but the nuvo student flute can? i'm having a hard time trying to decide which one to buy. what is your advice? thx
Hi!! thank you for your video! Helped me a lot! One question: do you know if I can use the headjoint from my silver flute on this Nuvo flute? Or even a wooden head joint? I mean, do the Nuvo flute body adapt to other headjoints? Thank you in advance!
For suggestion on future videos: dislike the regular "popping" sound when text appears. Painful if wearing headphones. I do like the tone of the new jFlute much better than the older version.
Hi there, in short Jflute is a flute in C designed for 4 to 10yo, hence it is shorter, lighter and plays to D. On the other hand, the student flute is a standard size flute in C. Hope this helps.

I just had to drop a comment to say that you guys have a very good vibe. Very good review
Thank you for the awesome review! My 7-year-old wishes to learn flute, and I have been looking for a good beginner flute for her.
I LOVE my doughnut flute! I leave it out all the time and pick it up to play many times a day. Thanks for your review!
Thank you for this review!! The tone on that Jflute says it all!
Great and really informative video by experts!
A very good comparison, best part is having a non-fluetist involved giving her impression; truly good idea.
Can you get a Nuvo with a B foot?
Well adding the optional fit joint and straight head to the j flute make it the same as the student flute 2.0? Help?

You guys are awesome great review and very sweet and watchable. You guys are naturals on camera.
This flute so wonderful. I can batter Play with the Nuvo flute 2.0

Hello, which nuvo flute would you recommend for an 8-year-old?
This makes me wonder if regular alto or bass flutes might benefit from such a donut shaped headpiece?
Brilliant because I've just purchased the new donut 2.0 version flute in black ☺️🙂
Me too!
in the low register, jflute can play D but no C right? but the nuvo student flute can? i'm having a hard time trying to decide which one to buy. what is your advice? thx

Hi, unfortunately their plastic sleeves does not fit standard flutes (silver or wood).
Did you know you can wash these flutes in the dishwasher?

J head. Where is the bottom joint? It's missing. Where is the C and sharp? They're not there. What kind of a flute is this ? 😮😮😮😮
This is the junior flute - it only plays to D. But it's compatible with student flute parts - in other words, you can upgrade it to student flute
What is the diff between flute student and jflute?
Hi there, in short
Jflute is a flute in C designed for 4 to 10yo, hence it is shorter, lighter and plays to D.
On the other hand, the student flute is a standard size flute in C.
Hope this helps.
how much is the price in SGD?
Etude Model EFL-100 are still $120. Have you tried them?
I don't know, but i cannot do A, Bb , B (third octave) and C (4th octave). Is it only me like that?
Are you referring to new Student flute or new "Doughnut" flute? Or the version 1?
@@FluteAndMusicAcademy I got the nuvo student v2
The 4 notes you mention is playable :)
@@FluteAndMusicAcademy So , I have to work harder))) I'm a beginner though. Cheers!
1. J flute + straight head joint and c foot joint
2. Student flute + donat head joint
Which one should i buy?
If you play flute Student Flute or if you just want to try it cheap look at the Nuvo Toot. My daughter started on that then moved up to the j-flute.
Hi! Can I use other headjoints with nuvo student flute?
Hi Maigret, the Nuvo would not fit the normal silver flutes though.
@@FluteAndMusicAcademy Thanks for your answer!
Bellissimi x i bambini piccoli!....
😄👏👏👏👏thank you
