TJ ‘Voce’ Copper Alloy Alto Flute (2026) A deeper voice, shaped with intent

The TJ ‘Voce’ copper alloy alto flute represents a significant evolution in low flute design, where material, headjoint craftsmanship, and tonal intent come together to create a truly distinctive voice.

Building on the success of the Performer series, this model moves decisively into a more refined, professional space. The copper alloy tubing adds depth and warmth compared to the standard silver-plated model, while the ‘Voce’ headjoint, featuring a 958 silver lip plate and riser, with the option of a fully 958 silver headjoint, adds clarity, focus, and expressive flexibility.

The result is a sound that feels expansive yet controlled. Dark, resonant, and harmonically rich, it carries with ease while retaining an intimate core. There is a sense of weight to the tone, but never heaviness. Instead, it responds with fluidity, allowing the player to shape phrases with nuance and precision.

Crucially, the TJ ‘Voce’ headjoint does the work it should. It manages the air efficiently, reducing unnecessary resistance while maintaining tonal integrity, making extended playing more natural, and expressive control more immediate.

For the serious flute player, this is not simply an alto flute upgrade. It is a shift in tonal perspective towards a sound that is more personal, more flexible, and unmistakably individual.
