This ‘Shaped’ lip - unique to the TJ 10XE-P - opens up the lower register and gives a huge advantage over other student flutes because it’s not only easier to play in general, but it’s actually easier to get a great tone too.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou can be confident that you will not find a better sounding, or easier playing student flute.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA 925 Silver Lip Riser to help build 'your' sound: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e925 silver lip plate \/riser on the Trevor James 10XE-P flute is an alloy that consists of 92.5% pure silver\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewith a small portion of copper and other metals added in order to harden the material for use in flute making. The specific character of 925 silver makes it an ideal metal for flute making and is used by both manufacturers of professional student flutes. The use of 925 silver for a flute player offers a colourful, flexible and resonant sound with a deeper timbre and wider available tonal range compared to the standard silver-plated only lip and riser headjoint as used on other student flute models. It’s unusual for a first, entry level flute to have a 925 silver lip plate and riser due to the extra cost of the additional precious metal content, however as flute specialists, Trevor James flutes understand the need to invest positively in your ‘first’ flute as it is your ‘sound’  - and the headjoint in particular - which is the single most important factor in your development and future progression as a musician.  Adding a 925 silver lip plate and riser demonstrates our desire to give you the tools to unlock and develop ‘your' very own, unique flute sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrench-style pointed key arm mechanism:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e10XE-P flutes feature French-style pointed key arms. The key-arms are the parts of a flute which connect the keys to the body of the flute. Traditionally reserved for much more expensive flutes, French-style pointed key arms feature an arm that extends to the centre of the key and helps to strengthen the mechanism, making for a stronger and tighter key placement, which means no leaks and squeaks. These key arms also result in excellent note intonation; reward speedy playing; and aid the development of faster techniques - so you’ll be well-placed to take on those more challenging pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProfessional Pads for a guaranteed consistency of performance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eYour new 10XE-P Flute benefits from the same high-quality Italian ‘Pisoni’ pads that are usually the preserve of much more exclusive and expensive flutes.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eUsing 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.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ePlus, ‘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.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Resonant Core of Tonal Quality: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eTrevor 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 10XE-P flute is regarded as the best sounding student flute available. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver-plated beauty, that will last:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eYou can be safe in the knowledge that each unlike other student flutes, the 10XE-P has a triple plated finish on its tubing. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eNeeding to ensure that the de-plating often associated with lower-cost flutes was never an issue, we developed our own method coating 10XE-P flutes. After much research we 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSetup and Checked.

That is not going to help you learn and will require a possibly costly and time-consuming trip to a specialist store to be fixed.\u003cbr\u003eWe believe it’s essential that each and every TJ flute - especially the 10XE-P student flute - goes through our exhaustive and unique UK technical quality control procedure. Each flute is set-up by one of our team of UK based flute specialist technicians at our headquarters in Lenham, Kent.\u003cbr\u003eSo, when you turn up to your first, second, tenth and fiftieth lesson, your flute will be good to go. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe do not make instruments for anyone else.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s very common in the manufacturing world, and especially so at the student-end of the market, for many different brands to be made by the same factories, using the same parts, but with a different label applied at the end.\u003cbr\u003eBut Trevor James flutes are very different.
