Trevor James Copper Alloy 'C' Flute

The TJ Copper Alloy ‘C’ flute offers something fundamentally different, an instrument shaped not only by design, but by material character.

Developed alongside our popular copper alloy alto flute, this TJ model introduces a richer, more nuanced tonal profile to the C flute landscape. The copper alloy tubing brings a natural warmth and depth, while the 958 silver ‘Voce’ lip plate and riser provide clarity, focus, and immediate response.

The result is a sound that sits beautifully between worlds, warmer and more rounded than traditional silver flutes, yet retaining enough clarity to project with confidence. It is a tonal voice that feels both familiar and refreshingly individual.

For advancing players, it presents a compelling alternative to silver. For professionals, it offers a dependable second instrument with its own unique tonal identity, equally suited to ensemble blending or solo colour.
