Introducing the Trevor James Virtuoso flute outfit
A beautiful flute that has been made with high quality materials, ideal for advanced players who are progressing to professional grade 8 and beyond. It is the perfect choice if you demand dynamics, colour, a deep timbre and a wide tonal range from your instrument.
The combination of a 925 Silver headjoint, 925 Silver body and 925 Silver footjoint tube will provide you with a great sounding flute. You can expect a noticeable difference in tone with an even flow of air through the entire body of the flute
Each Trevor James Virtuoso flute is crafted to the highest possible standard using the best quality components from around the world in order for your flute to have the best sound possible.
French style pointed key arms
These are the parts of the flute that connect the keys to the body of the flute. Traditionally reserved for premium model flutes, these French style pointed key arms feature an arm that extends to the centre of the key and helps to strengthen the mechanism which therefore makes the body of the flute stronger and provides you with a tighter key placement. This means that you will have less chance of air leaks and squeaks, making your flute reliable when performing.
An excellent note intonation is also guaranteed and will help when it comes to developing faster playing techniques, making this flute great if you intend to progress forward onto more challenging pieces.
Two headjoint crowns included with a CS shaped lip plate
With a heavy-weighted engraved and a yellow pear wood crown, the headjoint crown acts as a plug that seals the top end of the flute, therefore directing the air down the flute, towards the keys producing the best sound possible. The heavier weighted crowns such as these provide a greater air resistance and will help to centre the airflow down the flute with more efficiency. This will provide you with a much more resonant and responsive instrument, making it reliable and trustworthy, particularly ideal if your repertoire requires an optimum tone.
The shoulders of the lip plate have been raised to facilitate a very easy and wide open register allowing much more of a dynamic variety. Choosing this flute will give you good levels of control and expressive potential thanks to the lip plate being coupled with a hand cut embouchure hole.
A hand cut embouchure hole
While most flute headjoints feature a machine-produced embouchure hole, Trevor James flutes all feature a hand cut embouchure hole which eliminates any rough edges preventing the flute from sounding it's best. The professionally hand cut embouchure hole means that any rough edges can be smoothed and any irregular shapes can be filled.
The extra attention to detail which the Trevor James flutes provide allows you to be even more confident with every subtle nuance being in your full control
