Contrabass may be a good weapon but a picollo/soprano flute is dangerous. We are the master of the squeal and the lightsabers through years of intense bandroom boredom.

It is my dream to eventually own one of every range of flute, then my life will be complete and I will have a flute collection to pass down for generations after generations
I have to turn te volume up high and I still can’t hear it properly. Is that me or the instrument? I listened to other videos of contrabasses and double contrabasses but all I hear is a sort of tuffing sound. Like they are spitting in the tube…
@@poppyphilips It's the instrument's fault. Some of them are quite pointless, like hyperbass flutes, octocontrabass clarinets, Soprillo saxes, Double sized double basses, BBBb tubas, etc.
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!❤
Contrabass flute is my dream instrument! I only play euphonium violin and trombone right now, but I hope one day I’ll be able to rent or even buy one! Great video!
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
Your tone is amazing and the playing is great. I played this on clarinet and it was very hard to get good tone in some passages. It must have taken long to play it like this. Well done!
They probably shouldn't have given the highest instrument a low counterpart, compare this to a Subcontrabass saxophone which I believe is an octave below the piano.
JESUS was sent down-never sinned- took our punishment FOR US on the cross so we wouldn’t go to hell if we just repent-turn away from sin and believe in Him!
@stonwall9065 The only time I've ever seen a bass flute being played was in a performance by Andreas Vollenweider on "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson" back in the late 70s. I love these unusual incarnations of flutes, but I'm not sure where else a bass or contrabass flute might be required, but even symphony orchestras probably could not use them since they can't be heard without some serious amplification. Alto flutes usually fill the bill of a low flute voice pretty adequately.
Be sure to check out compositions by Jelle Hogenhuis. I may have a couple from music he gave me when we met. [Because of course, what do 2 flutists do when they get together? They play duets. He gave me a couple of flute ensemble pieces, too.]
Ok i have never seen the last one.. i play flute, honestly.. THE LAST ONE CANT BE REAL- LIKE THERE'S NO WAY I CAN JUST WALK INTO BAND W/ THAT AND MY BAND DIRECTOR WOULD ACCEPT THAT..
Are you studying this as a master's project? Do you intend to arrange repertoire for it? Is there already an extensive body of work for it? I'm very impressed
It is not an official Masters project, but it is part of my Masters work. There is a fair amount of flute choir repertoire, but not so many solos. However, the repertoire is growing!
The contrabass looks like I could trust it as my weapon if choice in WW3
Lol 😂
Honestly, flutes do good in chokeholds
Contrabass may be a good weapon but a picollo/soprano flute is dangerous. We are the master of the squeal and the lightsabers through years of intense bandroom boredom.
Comparing wind instruments to weapons is neither new nor amusing. Compare also Bassoon/Musket...

holy lord the arpeggio on the contrabass flute was so pretty
Im new to Beautiful music. What is arpeggio. Is it the quaver at the end? Becouse that's Beautiful
@@greggmoldovan1165an arpeggio is a broken chord, at least that’s the way you’ll be taught it
@@greggmoldovan1165it’s like a scale but skips one note,sometimes two
@@bella_the_bacon5862 It's the notes that make up a chord.

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
I wouldn't have believed that the lowest note on the piccolo could be played on the contrabass
It still can't do it
Cuz it wasnt. She went lower for the top note and it didnt have the greatest tone
Technically there is no limit to how high any wind instrument can go
I use the contrabass flute to do my morning pullups and hang-dry my washables.
The amount of air for that contrabass must be insane
Lots of fun! I gotta get myself up to Alaska! :)
Oh hey there, Amelie! I'd love to see you play the contrabass flute haha
P.S: as a self-taught flautist, your videos are helping me a lot :)
hi! i love ur channel u helped so much with flute
That contrabass sounds heavenly
Piccolo players should have to pay reperations to the rest of the orchestra
i've said I'm sorry millions of times!!!! and most importantly it's the clarinets that are mucking up with those ungodly squeals
@@user-gp1qu9fm6e
As a clarinet i can confirm that we squeal
I promise our ears hurt just as much as yours 😭😭
I stand to the right of my band's piccolo at football games n I have to wear es😂rbuds now bc of her lol
@@xenobackpains5800 god can we squeal
Sonic revenge was never so ear piercing
The last note on the contrabass sounds like a reed instrument, like a bari sax
Wow! Great breath control on those low pitches of the contrabass!
It is my dream to eventually own one of every range of flute, then my life will be complete and I will have a flute collection to pass down for generations after generations
The contrabass is the lowest flute where you can still hear decent notes
yeah theres lower but they dont sound as great and are harder to play
I have to turn te volume up high and I still can’t hear it properly. Is that me or the instrument? I listened to other videos of contrabasses and double contrabasses but all I hear is a sort of tuffing sound. Like they are spitting in the tube…

It's hard to believe that there's a flute that plays in bass clef.
Contrabass flute is now my new favorite instrument
that's like the range of a good trombone player lol
Buddy you'll pass out

I didn’t even know a piccolo was a flute
Contra bass looks like it would make for a good truck exhaust 😂
Your tone on that is impeccable. Other contrabass flutes ive heard sound like beat boxers
Perspective is everything
Eu toco aquela mais conhecida, em C. Meu sonho é tocar em grupo com todas da família. Obrigado pela demonstração!
Contrabass flute is my dream instrument! I only play euphonium violin and trombone right now, but I hope one day I’ll be able to rent or even buy one! Great video!
Never seen a flute that size
That low b sounds awesome!
I’m in marching band and I usually switch from the c flute to the piccolo because it’s fun to learn both, next I’m going for the base flute.
The piano chillin like "I've done this for hundreds of years"
The sound of the contrabass is amazing❤
the vibrato is immaculate
My goodness that's a beauty!
I’m getting lightheaded just watching you
Can you play Pachelbel's Canon as a sorta one woman band type thing, I think it would be so cool.
That WOULD be cool! Fun idea!
I knew about harmonics but still was shocked that there is any range overlap between the CB and piccolo
Oooft didnt know there was sucha thing as a contra bass flute but daamn that low end is so gooooooood

Wait. Theres such a thing as a Contrabass FLUTE??? THAT THING'S MASSIVE!! Cant compare to the Tuba obviously.
If I recall correctly, I think there's like four of them in the world.
@@Certifier yeah they’re rare
It goes even lower with the sub-contrabass
Just subbed! Nice job!🎉🎉🎉
Very beatiful
You forgot the double contrabass flute. Oh wait
Amazing ❤
Awesome !!
Those 3 notes feeling left out😢😂
now i want to hear a piccolo contrabass duet :)))))
What a fun video! Thank you for sharing! :) My dog was very interested in the highest and lowest notes haha
My cat too😂..
the contrabass looks like something ud summon a dragon with
Isn’t that how Cartman found the brown note?
Badass!
Never thought a flute could be that low pitched
The last note was super wavy but good job geting it that low
Pretty sick! 😅🤣😎👍🏻
me : flutes are small and you cant even hear them.🤣🤣 contrabass flute player: * hits me with their flute*
*I never knew there was such a thing as a contrabass flute!*
There's even a double contrabass flute.
They probably shouldn't have given the highest instrument a low counterpart, compare this to a Subcontrabass saxophone which I believe is an octave below the piano.
That contrabass looks goofy ngl 😭
Wow ❤
I wish hyperbass flutes were more common lol
it looks like the top half of a clarinet
I like contraBASS!🤗
I didn’t know they make a flute that big
That contrabass flute probably takes up some air
I WISH MY SCHOOL HAD THE CONTRABASS FLUTE!!!!!! I WANNA PLAY IT SO BADDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Flutes were always considered to be small until the contrabass came in.
Now do a hyperbass flute
"we almost got the piano."
REeaickqoUNKvwoYGqkO
JESUS was sent down-never sinned- took our punishment FOR US on the cross so we wouldn’t go to hell if we just repent-turn away from sin and believe in Him!
Don’t forget about the subcontrabass
Me when I see a concert bass (ITS AVARAGE ALRIGHT
Would this demonstration be possible without vibrato? Or because the note is very low, little vibration is not possible?
Comically large flute
Got it, so these are the only two kinds of flutes an ensemble needs cause they cover the whole desired range 👍 understood
I bet that contrabass takes a ton of air for those richer, stronger tones.
It costs a ton of money, too.
@@rescue270 No doubt about that. These are professional, orchestral instruments

Almost sounds like a tuba
Now all that remains is the subcontrabass flute and hyperbass flute 😅😅
Пора делать контрабас-пикколо!
The bathroom plumbing should normally be left in the walls.
Didn’t know Kyle Kulinski played the whole flute family!
the last note sounds like the start of Eleanor Rigby
Who else thinks you can literally play the star spangled banner on the contrabass
That contrabass sounds like a string instrument 😂
Interesting...
But have you ever heard of the Hyperbass flute?
I NEVER NEW A FLUTE WAS THAT BIG AND I KNOW IM NOT THE ONLY ONE😅
❤❤❤❤❤

Dont be shy, show us the subcontrabass/hyperbass flute
Bybye eardrums piccolo
You can hit a D above that C in the piccolo.
have you ever seen or played subcontrabass, double contrabass, or hyperbass flute?
Wow
I didn't know this was there many and I can only play the flute
Ok i have never seen the last one.. i play flute, honestly.. THE LAST ONE CANT BE REAL- LIKE THERE'S NO WAY I CAN JUST WALK INTO BAND W/ THAT AND MY BAND DIRECTOR WOULD ACCEPT THAT..
dude the lower notes arent like a violet vibration like trombone or tuba they are so smooth almost like a string instrument
I wish this lesbian just had a bong shaped like a flute
As a flautist I play violin piano and flute
🤩
Sub contrabass flute is a thing. Too. 😅
And hyperbass (which, if I'm not wrong, goes to 16Hz)
