Bass flute

The bass flute is the second-largest and lowest-pitched member of the family.

It's an expensive addition, too, so most of these flutes are found on college campuses or as a part of a large (and well-funded) flute choir.

A very relaxed embouchure and lots of air are necessary to get a sound on the bass flute.

The head joint on this flute is curved so that the player's arms can reach all of the keys.

This little girl should probably stick with the piccolo for awhile!
