Trevor James Copper Body Performers Alto Flute

The Trevor James Copper Alto Flute is the latest evolution of the award-winning TJ alto flute range, raising the bar with its elegant copper body and outstanding tonal qualities.

Winner of the UK Music Industry Association’s ‘Best Woodwind & Brass Instrument’, this model delivers a free-blowing, warm, and responsive tone that’s ideal for professionals, soloists, and woodwind doublers.

The body tubing is crafted from an 85% copper alloy, giving the flute a uniquely rich sound and stunning appearance. This composition is engineered for both tonal warmth and the structural integrity needed for precision tone hole drawing. Paired with a silver-plated AT-cut headjoint, featuring a 925 silver lip and riser, the instrument offers excellent projection, flexibility, and articulation.

Designed for performance comfort, the ergonomic key layout, triple-plated finish, and closed-hole mechanism ensure smooth playability. Choose between a curved or straight headjoint, or select the double headjoint package for maximum versatility. A C footjoint with shaped touchpieces and drawn tone holes complete this carefully crafted instrument.
