The Trevor James TJ10x Flute is already one of the best and most popular student instruments in the country. Now it comes with a choice of headjoint crowns - traditional silver plated metal and a new grenadilla wooden crown. This has been developed in a close collaboration between Trevor James and Clare Southworth, Flute Professor at the Royal Academy of Music. It offers the student, with a simple few turns of the crown, a different tonal quality to the instrument as well as a striking visual difference to other Flutes.
Designed to be very free blowing and easy to play (and the most important thing for a Flute is the ease of sound production) which is achieved in this instrument by a head joint and lip plate specially researched in conjunction with flute players and teachers around the world.The keywork mechanism has a double layer of silver-plating on top of a flash copper coating which gives durability to the silver finish of each instrument.
