The Venova features a predominantly cylindrical bore, but is distinguished by its branched-pipe structure near the mouthpiece of the instrument. This serves to approximate the acoustic qualities of an instrument with a conical bore, such as a saxophone. In particular, the Venova overblows at the octave, rather than the twelfth as does a conventional cylindrical reed instrument such as a chalumeau or clarinet.
