Trevor James 10XE-P student flute outfit with curved & straight heads

Introducing the Trevor James 10XE-P student flute outfit with curved & straight headsThe Trevor James 10XE-P student flute is regarded as one of the best beginner flutes available, thanks to its quality construction and premium features.This step-up flute features French-style pointed key arms, typically only included in professional models. Not only does this aid in playing technique right from the start, but it also ensures a smooth transition to an intermediate or professional model when progressing.Complete with both a curved and straight head, this flute is especially good for younger or physically smaller players. The curved head makes the physical key-reach a lot easier in the beginning, but as the student grows or the player becomes more competent, the curved head can be switched out for the straight for a more traditional playing position.Overall, the 10XE-P is an affordable, high-quality and free blowing silver-plated instrument with a built-to-last design and plenty more to offer.925 silver lip plate and riserThe 10XE-P flute has a specially shaped lip plate and riser that gives players the benefit of having an immediate, free blowing sound. This uniquely shaped lip opens up the lower register for a consistent tone across the full range of the flute. Plus, the 925 silver delivers a warmer sound and an extended range of tonal possibilities.French-style pointed key arm mechanismConnecting the keys to the body of the flute, pointed key arms strengthen the mechanism, making for a stronger and tighter key placement that results in a drastic reduction of leaks or squeaking. They also result in excellent intonation and aid in the development of fast techniques, which is perfect for those practicing more challenging passages.Professional pads for increased consistencyThe 10XE-P benefits from the same high-quality Italian Pisoni pads that are usually the preserve of much more expensive models. These ensure a perfect seal for immediate sound production when pressed. They also have a significantly longer life span than the pads often found on other student instruments.Impressive tonal qualityTrevor 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, this tubing forms the very core of each TJ flute and, along with the silver-plated head joint, explains why the 10XE-P flute is regarded as one of the best sounding student flutes available.Silver plating that will lastThe 10XE-P has a triple plated finish on its tubing, ensuring a long lasting finish. After much research, Trevor James 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 student flute.What’s in the outfit?Wooden casePlush-lined case cover with side pocket and carry handleAdjustable shoulder strapWooden cleaning rodInner cleaning gauzeOur Trevor James flute rangeTrevor James 5X student flute outfitTrevor James 10XE-P student flute outfitTrevor James 10XE-P student flute outfit with curved & straight headsTrevor James Privilege student flute outfitTrevor James Chanson step-up flute outfitTrevor James copper body step-up flute outfit with B-footTrevor James Virtuoso intermediate flute outfitMore useful informationTrevor James flute owners manualFlute fingering chartFirst flute informationA perfect first flute for students, Triple coated with silver plating on copper coated body, .925 silver lip plate with a warm, complex tone, Straight and curved headjoints, Professional pads for a consistent performance, Supplied with a wooden case with a shoulder strap and fleece-lined case cover
