Pre Loved Trevor James 10X Flute Curved Neck

This pre loved Trevor James 10X Flute with a curved neck is in great condition and comes with a case.

Whether you’re an absolute beginner or are returning to the instrument after a few years away, the Trevor James 10x flute was designed specifically for you - featuring a Shaped Lip Plate and Riser made of '925' Silver.

Having a flute complete with a curved and straight head is a great idea, especially for younger or physically smaller players. The curved head makes the physical key-reach a lot easier in the beginning, but as the student grows or the player becomes more competent, the curved head can be switched out for the straight for a more traditional playing position.

The T10x Flute benefits from the same high-quality Italian ‘Pisoni’ pads that are usually the preserve of much more exclusive and expensive flutes.

Using such high-end pads, and ensuring they are seated correctly in the key ‘cups’, guarantees that sound production is more immediate when each key is depressed. If there is an air leak or gap between the pad and the tone hole, the note will not sound correctly, and all your effort will have been in vain. ‘Pisoni’ pads have a significantly longer life span than the inferior pads often found on student instruments, which translates into a better, more reliable tone for a much longer period.

Trevor James Flutes use Japanese tubing which is known for both its structural integrity and resonant quality. Generally, only used by the premium, professional Japanese flute brands (because of its much higher cost), this tubing forms the very core of each TJ flute, and along with the headjoint, explains why the 10x flute is regarded as the best sounding student flute available. You can also be safe in the knowledge that unlike other student flutes, the 10x has a triple plated finish on its tubing. Needing to ensure that the de-plating often associated with lower-cost flutes was never an issue, Trevor James developed their own coating methods. After much research they discovered that by copper-plating the nickel tubing first, the subsequent two (yes two!) layers of silver-plate are rock solid, giving you the most durable finish of any student flute.

The 10x flute has a specially shaped lip plate & riser that 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. The use of 925 silver also offers a colourful, flexible and resonant sound with a deeper timbre and wider tonal range compared to the standard silver-plated only lip and riser headjoint as used on other student flute models.
