Welcome To our TJ alto and bass flute website
Welcome to the world of TJ low flutes, where depth of sound, colour, and the physical connection to the instrument take on a very different character. TJ alto and bass flutes are designed to support that experience, offering a stable, responsive feel for flute players who value both control and musical depth.
Listen to the brilliant flute player and arranger Barry Griffiths performs the timeless beauty of Pachelbel’s Canon as an alto flute quartet, featuring his TJ Copper Alto Flute.
Our TJ Alto
We offer seven alto flute models across two distinct ranges. The TJ ‘Performer’ series includes four options, silver-plated, 925 silver headjoint, copper alloy, and the ‘RAW’ copper alloy, each offering a different balance of response, tone, and projection. Alongside these sit three TJ ‘Voce’ handmade alto flutes, including 958 silver lip plate and riser, full 958 silver headjoint, and copper alloy versions, designed for players seeking greater depth, stability, and tonal flexibility. This range allows players to choose an instrument that best suits their sound, playing style, and musical setting.
Our TJ BASS
Our handmade TJ bass flutes feature a 925 silver lip plate and riser, soldered tone holes, and a silver-plated body and mechanism, providing a stable and consistent playing platform. The bass flute offers a distinctive depth of sound, with a slower response that rewards controlled air and a more measured approach to phrasing. Its role continues to expand beyond flute choirs, finding a place in solo, ensemble, and doubling settings where tone colour, weight, and musical contrast are valued.
