Mozart on the Mountain Festival - organised by Magic Flutes Intenational

"This was a seminar with a difference, loads of fun, lots of new ideas and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere to experiment with new concepts. If you have the time and inclination, the Pinschof - Müller-Preis combination is one that can benefit any musician; you don't need to be a flute player or a singer to take advantage of this technique. You do need to be imbued with the spirit of adventure and willing to try out new ideas. It will surprise you how easy it can be to make them work for you (and your students). So in more than one sense - These seminars may well change your life!"

"Dear Thomas, I am writing to let you know how pleased Danielle is with her new Trevor James flute - she is very pleased! I am also writing to sincerely thank you for the very special service you gave us... We appreciated Danielle being allowed as much time as she needed to test the flutes; likewise, your sincerity and the experience of performing were very important... I have happily given Danielle's teacher your catalogue, along with my recommendation."

Bridget Douglas is Principal Flute of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and Artist Teacher of Flute at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. She writes:

"Hi Thomas... I've really enjoyed playing this [Trevor J James] alto flute!"

Magic Flutes International "Divertimento" flute
Model: solid silver, pointed arms, split E, B foot

This flute has a sweet but not overly full-bodied tone, and an impressive evenness in tone across the range of the three registers. The mechanism was very even and smooth. These two attributes gave the flute a facility to play both leaping and fast scalic passages. The flute was both responsive and resonate, and tonal changes in sound colour and harmonics were easy to produce. I would also recommend this as a high quality instrument suitable for the advanced student or semi-professional player.

"One of my teachers... was asking me whether the multiphonics worked. For me they did, but neither of us could get them on her flute. Mine was a cheap and cheerful Trevor James C-foot plateau student model, hers a very nice Powell. We could both get the multiphonics on mine!"

- J O'Farrell

"I brought out all my flutes and they insisted on hearing them all... Silver Muramatsu with Gold head, Wood Rudall Carte wih wood and silver head. And my Trevor James 10i student flute. Universal opinion was an absolute preference for my Trevor James student flute."
