Octobass flute

Good photo, but it looks much too small to be a double contrabass flute. See [1] and you'll see what I'm talking about. Badagnani (talk) 09:09, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

We've got articles on all the sizes. I think he's calling a contrabass flute (one octave lower than the bass) an "octobass." But we can only be sure if we write him, ask how many octaves below the regular concert flute it is, and who made his instrument. Do you want to do it? Otherwise maybe we could ask Maria Ramey to use her photo, which shows how massive the real double contrabass flute is. Badagnani (talk) 09:18, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

I'll email her now. Badagnani (talk) 09:21, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Great that you're interested and have expertise. I think this is one we didn't know about. I just listened and it sounds fantastic. I think "a tessiture la rapproche du violoncelle : elle s’étend sur trois octaves et demie (partant du la grave situé une tierce au-dessous du do de la corde basse du violoncelle)" means that its lowest note is an A a third below the low C of the cello. I've never heard of a flute that went down to low A (don't they usually go down to low C or G?), so that's weird. That would put it between the contrabass flute and double contra-alto flute.

Can you somehow get photos of the rare smaller ones like the treble flute and flute d'amour?

I'm excited because Matthias Ziegler is coming to perform in Cleveland this winter. Badagnani (talk) 09:39, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

I think this is a double contra-alto flute.[2] Badagnani (talk) 09:44, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

We already have articles on the flute, concert flute, and all the various sizes. I think it's good to have all of them, as they can only grow. Each instrument has its own identity, as do, for example, the different saxophones, clarinets, or violin-family instruments. Badagnani (talk) 09:52, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

I think that exists already. Badagnani (talk) 09:57, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Awesome, it looks great, but we already had Western_concert_flute#Members_of_the_concert_flute_family. Excellent getting the treble flute photo; how did you do that? I got three from Maria Ramey, of the contrabass, double contra-alto, and double contrabass. Badagnani (talk) 18:23, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

I have one more to upload. Did you know about the instant WP-to-Commons tool? Badagnani (talk) 18:53, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

About time you had one of these...
