7 octaves of flute! From piccolo to contrabass!

The contrabass looks like I could trust it as my weapon if choice in WW3

[AriTheInterloper]

holy lord the arpeggio on the contrabass flute was so pretty

[davidwhitaker]

Oh my gosh! The amount of air it takes to instantly switch from the piccolo to the contrabass and then have vibrato with it. Immaculate

[viiking]

that lower range with the contrabass is just beautifully unique. The smoother tone accompanied with the wider range vibrato and slight swell is what a lot of movie soundtracks are missing!

[ericfichon]

I wouldn't have believed that the lowest note on the piccolo could be played on the contrabass

[flutechannel]

Lots of fun! I gotta get myself up to Alaska! :)

pianists: “LOOK WHAT THEY NEED TO MIMIC A FRACTION OF OUR POWER”

I’ve always found the piano a terribly cold sound, and next to those beautiful flute timbres it sounds positively unpleasant. Thank you for the lovely sounds. :)

I use the contrabass flute to do my morning pullups and hang-dry my washables.

The last note on the contrabass sounds like a reed instrument, like a bari sax

[SomethingWellesian]

Gotta admit I did *not* expect you to go directly from one to the other!

[luceroenriquez]

The sound of the contrabass is amazing❤

[JunNaoMusic]

The piano chillin like "I've done this for hundreds of years"

[glendenig]

Wow! Great breath control on those low pitches of the contrabass!

[lauramathews]

The contrabass makes we wanna drink something from a crazy straw, like the nostalgic 90s kid I am...

[balderdash]

Your tone on that is impeccable. Other contrabass flutes ive heard sound like beat boxers

[Madame_Gracelo]

Info: We have a bassoon player that does base flute when she is sick to not infect the reed. We have a newer flute player that adores her and asks about the base flute. We where talking about the flute family today and especially the pic and contra base flute

[Randoman]

The contrabass flute reminds me of a mother elephant. So gentle, yet large

[mortarmole]

Contrabass flute is now my new favorite instrument

[flautalee]

Actually, there’s also the subcontrabass and I think a double contrabass. Plus Jelle Hogenhuis built a very very low flute the size of a small car.

I was so lucky to meet him ~ 2018 ~ in Amsterdam. You see, he sold me a “Diadeem” Cobtrabass in 2016; my husband and I were traveling there, so I emailed him to see if we might meet?

Fabulous couple of hours with him. He’d told me that the really enormous low flute was not audible in its low range; what it effected, though, was to vibrate the walls, becoming the lowest vibrations (the fundamentals) of notes being played by other flutists in the room.

Brilliant man. He passed a few years ago😢. Does anyone know if his extant instruments are being sold by a particular vendor?

He let me try a wonderful bass flute of his design….

Thanks for making this post!❤
