Trevor James 5X Flute Outfit

What they say

The aim of this 'budget' model TJ 5x flute model is to capture the potential of the new flute player, or those returning to playing after an extended break who are working to a very limited budget.

At this price point there is usually only poor quality instruments for sale with a brand name you've never heard of. Instruments which do nothing to meet the learning requirements of an eager new player who doesn’t have the resource or budget to buy one of the world's leading, but more expensive, starter flutes - the TJ 10xp.

The team at TJ flutes wanted to solve this issue. We wanted to create a budget instrument that will encourage and allow the new player to develop their skills and talent. We also didn't want the player to be discouraged with their new flute constantly being at the repairers, which is sadly the experience of many who purchase similar priced flutes with strange, never heard of before brand names online.

By partnering for the very first time with another factory (unlike all other TJ flutes which are designed and manufactured by ourselves), these TJ 5x models, although still designed by our TJ flute technical team, are priced following manufacturing scaleability and price reductions where we felt they were possible, but most importantly we have also made sure that we haven’t compromised the performance quality.
