The Trevor James Chanson flute has .925 silver headjoint, silver-plated body, footjoint tube and silver-plated French style pointed key arm mechanism. This model features the TJ CS shaped lip plate on which the shoulders of the lip plate have been raised to facilitate a very easy and wide open lower register with enhanced dynamic possibilities.
Silver Headjoint
The headjoint is the most important part of the flute as it is where the sound originates. Certain playing techniques and tone colours can only be achieved through the addition of precious metal to your instrument. It is this silver content that helps naturally produce a superior sound quality, perfect for adding a new range of tonal characteristics to your playing.
Key Mechanism
The French-style pointed key arms which were 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.
Silver Plated Beauty That Lasts
Like all TJ flutes, the Chanson range has a triple plated finish on the tubing. To ensure that the sliver-plating last a lifetime, Trevor James developed their own method of coating flutes. After much research they discovered that by copper-plating the nickel tubing first, the subsequent two layers of silver-plate are rock solid, giving you the most durable finish of any step-up flute.
