Will the Dood teach me the right embouchure so I can play a real sax someday? I've never played a reed instrument before.

The dood is a good beginner instrument if you want to play a instrument that uses a single reed such as sax or clarinet, but Nuvo does make a beginner saxophone with simple fingering and fewer keys/notes if you're really interested in playing a full sax in the future. I play several instruments (clarinet, oboe, bass clarinet, and recorder) and I have fun with this easy instrument. I can't use the plastic reeds (too soft) that come with instrument so I buy and recommend bamboo reeds that work better (for me) because I can buy harder reeds and the right size. The dood has simple fingering like the recorder and sounds similar to a clarinet. The instrument is in the key of C and you can buy any easy music books for recorder if looking for music. If you're serious about learning sax I recommend moving up to the Nuvo sax when your ready and then a full sax when you're proficient with the Nuvo sax. Good luck and happy playing.

The description says the fingering is similar to recorer fingering. Does this refer to German or Baroque fingering?

The DooD fingering would equate with German recorder fingering.

Does this come with reeds?

Yes, it comes with two plastics reeds that are two different thicknesses.

Is this a Dood or a Nuvo recorder?

This is a NUVO Dood. We are working with Amazon right now to get the title of this listing corrected and we appreciate your question.
