IFS Showcase: Trevor James Flutes

First off, thank you all that came out to “It’s Electric” with Dr. Melissa Keeling on Thursday April 11th! We had a great time with Melissa showing off Trevor James low flutes, so I feel that this is the perfect time to write in more detail some of the GREAT features of Trevor James Flutes (also check out our YouTube videos on this subject!). Below are some details from our videos on the featured TJ Flutes: Voce Headjoint Series Flutes: I had the opportunity to try out both the Chanson and Virtuoso models, and I absolutely love them! Both of these would be great for the advancing player ready to step up their game on their flute playing skills. The Voce headjoint on each of these is made up of solid 958 silver.

I am a dog mom to two giant Great Pyrenees named Polar and Bear (yes they really do look like polar bears!). Bear especially likes to lay at my feet while I play the flute.
