Before You Play
Setting the Reed and Ligature
Twist the mouthpiece from side to side as you slide it onto the neck joint .
After attaching the mouthpiece, set the reed and ligature onto the mouthpiece.
Slide the ligature onto the mouthpiece from its tapered end.
Position the reed so that the edge of the mouthpiece is slightly visible
over the reed tip. Tighten the two screws on the ligature to secure the
reed in place.
* The reed tip is delicate so please take care not to damage it with the liga-
ture, etc.
* If you are using a reed made from cane rather than the resin reed sup-
plied with the instrument, moisten the end of the reed in your mouth (or
water) before playing.
* Position the ligature so that the tuning fork logo is centered in the lig-
ature’s open space.
* Tighten the ligature screws just enough to keep the reed from mov-
ing. Take care not to over-tighten.

Let’s Try Playing
Hold the instrument as shown in the illustration below, keeping your
back straight, shoulders loose, and chin pulled in.
Position the mouthpiece in your mouth with your upper front teeth rest-
ing about 1cm from the tip of the mouthpiece. Cover your lower teeth
with your lower lip to keep your teeth from coming into direct contact
with the reed.
Take a deep breath, and blow into the instrument.

First, hold the instrument
without covering any of
the holes.

Tips on Making Sound
Holding the Instrument
Holding the instrument the wrong way (wrong angle or poor posture) can
result in poor tone or difficult fingering. Always be aware of proper playing
form when playing the instrument.
Mouth Shape (Embouchure*)
With the reed resting on your lower lip, seal your mouth around the
mouthpiece to keep air from leaking out of the corners of your mouth
when blowing.
Blowing the Instrument
Compared to a recorder, the Venova requires more breath to play. Use a
lot of air and blow firmly into the instrument.
* Refer to the illustration on page 5 for proper instrument angle when
holding.
* The shape of your mouth when playing the instrument is called the
“embouchure.” The embouchure is very important when playing wind
instruments. Proper positioning of lips, tongue, teeth, etc., creates an
optimum embouchure, which lets you control the pitch and timbre of the
instrument.

• Do not bite hard on the reed or mouth-
piece.
• If you are experiencing difficulty get-
ting sound from the instrument, refer
to the chart on page 8 and check the
mouthpiece position.

Let’s Try Playing
Close the Tone Holes and Play Some Notes
• Use the ball of your finger (not the tip) to cover the hole.
• Use your fingers in a relaxed, stress-free form.
Since lower pitches are hard to produce without good embouchure and suffi-
cient airflow, let’s try playing a “G”.
Close the tone holes properly to achieve beautiful and stable tone, and good
pitch.
Fingerings for other pitches are provided from page 12.
Finger Position
* The illustration below shows all tone holes being covered.
Octave Key
The octave key is used for playing
notes above a high “D”. It is not used
for playing any other notes so take
care not to press the octave key by
mistake.
Put your right thumb under the thumb
hook to hold the instrument securely.

Getting a Balanced Sound
If you are experiencing difficulty getting sound from your instrument, it
might be a good time to review your embouchure.
Mouth shape and teeth alignment vary widely among individuals so take
time finding an embouchure that works best for you. Refer to the chart
below and try varying the position of your teeth, the angle that you hold the
instrument, etc., to find a well-balanced tone.

Controlling Tone
Inside of Your Mouth
When blowing into the instrument, the inside of your mouth should be
shaped as if you were pronouncing “OH.”
Tonguing
Tonguing is a technique for dividing a tone by interrupting the air flow with
your tongue.
It is done by touching the end of the reed with the end of your tongue and
releasing.
Tips on creating tone
The Venova is compatible with tenor saxophone mouthpieces and reeds, so
once you are able to produce individual notes smoothly using the supplied
mouthpiece (equivalent of Yamaha 4C tenor saxophone mouthpiece) you
might want to experiment with different reed/mouthpiece* combinations to
change the way the instrument blows and produce different tones (brighter,
mellower, clearer).
* The instrument comes with a soft reed making it easier to play for
beginners however, higher pitches may be more difficult to articu-
late.
Once you can blow sufficient amount of air into the instrument, you
might want to move to a stiffer reed to play higher pitches more
smoothly.
* Stiffer reeds tend to play slightly sharp in pitch. If so, refer to the
“About Tuning” section in the owner’s manual and adjust the mouth-
piece position.
* Some tenor saxophone mouthpieces made by other manufacturers
may fit poorly or produce poor pitch making them unsuitable for use
with the Tenor Venova. Always consult with your Yamaha dealer
before purchasing.

Troubleshooting
Condition Cause Solution
No sound. The reed is not properly
positioned on the mouth-
piece.
Refer to page 4 and properly
position the reed.
Not enough air to make the
reed vibrate.
Increase the amount of air you
blow into the instrument.
Biting too hard on the
mouthpiece (too much
lower lip pressure on the
reed).
Reduce the amount of pressure
your lower lip is applying to the
reed.
Mouth is too loose (lower lip
is not sufficiently support-
ing the reed).
Close your mouth tighter around
the reed (not to the extent that
the sound squeaks) to firmly sup-
port the reed with your lower lip.
Low-pitch
sounds are
hard to make.
The upper front teeth are
not resting firmly on the
mouthpiece.
Use your left thumb to firmly sup-
port the instrument so that the
mouthpiece is in firm contact with
the upper teeth.
Low-pitch
sounds shake
and waver.
Lower lip is covering too
much of your lower teeth.
Reduce the amount of lip cover-
ing your teeth.
Makes a
squeaking
sound.
Mouthpiece is positioned
too deep in the mouth.
Refer to the “Getting a Balanced
Sound” section on page 8 and
review your embouchure.
Biting too hard on the
mouthpiece.
Refer to the “Getting a Balanced
Sound” section on page 8 and
review your embouchure.
Holding the instrument at
the wrong angle.
Refer to the “Tips on Making
Sound” section on page 6 and
review the angle you hold the
instrument.
Not adequately covering
the tone holes.
Refer to the “Close the Tone
Holes and Play Some Notes”
section on page 7 and firmly
cover the tone holes.

tenorvenova_started_en.book Page 10 Thursday, September 17, 2020 4:39 PM
Let’s play Venova™ ! 11
Troubleshooting
* The reason the pitch is off is possibly due to a poor embouchure. Refer to the “Getting a Bal-
anced Sound” section on page 8 to find a solution that improves your pitch.
Water noise
can be heard
while playing.
Moisture has accumulated
in the body, mouthpiece, or
reed.
Remove moisture from inside of
the body with the supplied clean-
ing swab and also remove mois-
ture from inside of mouthpiece
and reed with a soft cloth.
Overall pitch is
high.*
Biting too hard on the
mouthpiece.
Don’t bite too hard on the mouth-
piece.
Mouthpiece is positioned
too shallow in the mouth.
Position the mouthpiece deeper
into your mouth.
Upper front teeth are not
firmly resting on the mouth-
piece.
Make sure your upper front teeth
are placed firmly on the mouth-
piece.
Overall pitch is
low.*
Mouth is too loose or open
(the lower lip is not suffi-
ciently supporting the reed).
Close your mouth tighter around
the reed (not to the extent that
the sound squeaks) to firmly sup-
port the reed with your lower lip.

are hard to resonate. Use fingering, airflow, and embouchure
control to adjust intonation.
Deutsche Griffweise
Das Tenor Venova wird nur mit der Deutschen Griff-
weise gespielt.
* Halbtöne wie F#, G#, Bb klingen häufig grell und sind schwer
zu intonieren. Passen Sie die Intonation durch Kontrolle von
Fingersatz, Luftstrom und Ansatz an.
Système allemand
Le Tenor Venova n'est utilisé qu'avec le système de
doigté allemand.
* Les demi-tons tels que le fa dièse, le sol dièse et le si bémol
ont tendance à devenir facilement stridents et résonnent diffi-
cilement. Pour ajuster l'intonation, contrôlez le doigté, le jet
d'air et l'embouchoir.
Sistema alemán
El Tenor Venova solo se utiliza con el sistema de digi-
tado alemán.
