Voce headjoint and silver body
The "Voce" headjoint contains a 95.84 silver content, or .958, which is higher than most at this level. This, alongside the .925 silver body and footjoint, means that your flute has more tonal colour options than it otherwise would. In addition, there is a mature timbre and an incredibly even air flow when playing. This adaptability is essential when playing more advanced pieces.
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 prolongs your flute looking its best.
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.
