It has three strings and is essentially a larger version of the double bass the specimen in the collection of the Cit de la Musique Mus e de la Musique in Paris measures 3.48 meters in length, whereas a full size double bass is generally approximately 2 meters in length .

Rim blown vertical flutes include the Jiahu flute , the xiao , the danso , the kaval , the ney , the quena , and the shakuhachi . The most familiar ducted vertical flutes are the recorder , tin whistle , and Pipe and tabor tabor pipe . One historical variety has a slightly tapered decreasing diameter bore with 6 tone holes on the top side. A dorsal thumb hole is absent. It sometimes has a small foot section with a single key. The range is a little more than two octaves and the common keynote is D major. The instrument is often mistaken for a Recorder with keynote C, but. like the tin whistle and tabor pipe, relies on overblowing to change registers instead of pinching open a thumbhole, recorder style, to cancel the fundamental harmonic Bessaraboff 1941, 62 63 .

The treble flute is a member of the flute family. It is in the key of G, pitched a fifth above the concert flute and is a transposing instrument, sounding a fifth up from the written note. The instrument is rare today, only occasionally found in flute choirs, some marching bands or private collections. Some 19th century operas, such as Ivanhoe opera Ivanhoe include the instrument in their orchestrations. A limited number of manufacturers produce G treble flute, including Myall Allen and Flutemakers Guild. The flutes have many of the same options as their larger C flute cousins, including sterling silver bodies, trill keys, and soldered keys. It is very similar to a piccolo , and plays in the same range, although, because it is a slightly larger instrument, it has a different quality at the upper end of its register, and it has an extended lower register, as compared with the piccolo. The instrument not be confused with the Alto Flute, also in G, which is a larger instrument that transposing down by a fourth to the octave below the treble flute. Since the demise of the Renaissance flute consorts, the use of this treble flute in G seems to have all but disappeared. Only in the flute bands of Northern Ireland and Scotland that have converted from the traditional simple system flutes to Boehm system silver flutes, do we see extensive use of the treble flutes in G. Current instrumentation of one of these ensembles typically would be 1 piccolo in C, Solo treble flute in G, 1st, 2nd and 3rd treble flutes in G, Solo flute in C, 1st and 2nd flutes in C, 1st and 2nd alto flutes in G, bass flutes in C, and contrabass flutes in C , 4 percussion. woodwind instrument stub Western concert flutes Category Flutes ... more details
