Trevor James 10X Flute - The world's best 'first' flute just got better

"The Award-Winning Trevor James’ 10x Flute now comes as standard with a ‘925’ Solid Silver shaped lip plate & riser. The specially shaped lip plate & riser gives the new, or returning player, the benefit of having an immediate & free blowing sound, especially in the lower tonal range."

The world’s best student ‘First’ flute, just got better.

The Award-Winning Trevor James’ 10x Flute now comes as standard with a ‘925’ Solid Silver shaped lip plate & riser.

So what’s so special about this silver lip plate and riser? 

The specially shaped lip plate & riser gives the new, or returning player, the benefit of having an immediate & free blowing sound, especially in the lower tonal range. Plus, the ‘925’ silver delivers a warmer sound and an extended range of tonal possibilities.

But why is that important?

The lower notes are notoriously hard for new players as they involve most - if not all - keys being depressed. Therefore, the air stream is often right down at the bottom end of the flute. And this creates quite an ‘airflow’ challenge.

This ‘Shaped’ lip - unique to the TJ 10x - opens the lower register and makes it significantly easier to articulate these notes - and others too. As a result of this easier articulation, the student can also expect a great improvement in overall tone.

The 10x with ‘925’ Solid Silver shaped lip plate & riser has never been better value!

Previously, this specially designed, easy-blowing silver shaped lip plate & riser was an option that commanded a premium over the regular 10x flute: £505 for Silver version, as compared to £469 for the 10x flute with the traditional lip and riser.
However, for a limited time, all straight 10x Flutes – complete with the '925' solid silver shaped lip and riser – will retail at £469.

So that’s more flute, for less money. Great news for all students!

Trevor James 10x Flutes – with a '925' solid silver shaped silver lip and riser [SKU:3041EASLRW] – are available to order now: Online, on the phone, or via your Area Sales Manager.

 

"What a fantastic flute! I recommend the TJ 10x flute as the best 'first' flute above all others" Clare Southworth - Professor of Flute, Royal Academy of Music, London.
