Full Description
View Full DescriptionSolid silver body
Trevor James Virtuoso flutes have a solid silver body, usually only present with more expensive models, for a reasonable price. The .925 silver body and footjoint produce better sounds than silver-plated units, meaning that your flute has more tonal colour options. It produces a mature timbre and an incredibly even air flow when playing. As a result, you have an adaptable instrument that you can control with minimal effort - perfect for practise and performance.
Responsive and resonant
A heavy-weighted engraved crown offers greater air resistance which centres the airflow accurately, ensuring a richer sound. The split E mechanism and offset G ensure a faster, ergonomic playing experience. French-style pointed key arms help develop faster fingering techniques and provide perfect intonation, while the open holes give you more control. The silver construction offers a greater depth of sound alongside better response and more power - everything you need to enhance your sound!
Designed to last
Virtuoso flutes are built to stand the test of time. The sturdy construction offered by the French-style pointed key arms results in a tighter mechanism. The key arms extend to the centre of the keys, which leads to less wear and leaks - this, combined with the high-quality Italian pads, means that your flute will sound better for longer. The Trevor James triple plating (flash copper followed by a double layer of silver-plate) produces a beautiful yet durable finish that will keep your flute looking better for longer.
Controlled quality
Dedication to quality ensures that every instrument from Trevor James is finished to a high standard. The embouchure hole is over-cut and under-cut by hand to provide optimal performance with every Virtuoso flute. This prevents any rough edges or irregular shapes that can come from machine cutting. Each flute is then setup in the UK by one of Trevor James' technical experts. This attention to detail means that you can be confident that your new instrument will play to its full potential.
