she probbaly plays with vibrato on the contrabass in order to feel the airstream better and to have stronger diaphram contractions to push out the sound more. Using a straight tone would be much harder to get a coherent sound.
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!
@@codex1742I’m pretty sure that means brass I haven’t any flutes go higher than standard range but trumpets I’ve heard 3 octaves above their tuning note and even near 3 octaves below
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. :)
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!
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!❤
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
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
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.
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!
A flute counts as any woodwind that doesnt use a reed, and blows into the instrument in a particular way. For example, if you've ever blown into plastic or glass bottles, thats a flute.
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.]
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.

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

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
on a Nagahara Mini you can play a B4
@@codex1742I’m pretty sure that means brass I haven’t any flutes go higher than standard range but trumpets I’ve heard 3 octaves above their tuning note and even near 3 octaves below
I use the contrabass flute to do my morning pullups and hang-dry my washables.
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
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. :)
The last note on the contrabass sounds like a reed instrument, like a bari sax
Not really, it does sound like a reed instrument but filtered (like its in another room) and playing way lower than intended
The sound of the contrabass is amazing❤
Wow! Great breath control on those low pitches of the contrabass!
Your tone on that is impeccable. Other contrabass flutes ive heard sound like beat boxers
Contrabass flute is now my new favorite instrument
I mean it’s really hard to hear + when ur playing, the keys are louder than the notes
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
@@chairsandpotatoes
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

The piano chillin like "I've done this for hundreds of years"
That low b sounds awesome!
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

Contra bass looks like it would make for a good truck exhaust 😂
This is a really good showcase of the pianos range 😂
It's hard to believe that there's a flute that plays in bass clef.
only the flute and piccolo don’t go below middle C
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.
Perspective is everything
Eu toco aquela mais conhecida, em C. Meu sonho é tocar em grupo com todas da família. Obrigado pela demonstração!
The contrabass flute reminds me of a mother elephant. So gentle, yet large
I knew about harmonics but still was shocked that there is any range overlap between the CB and piccolo
the vibrato is immaculate
Just subbed! Nice job!🎉🎉🎉
The contrabass has to be my favorite of the flute family because that low was heavenly. It just sucks that it's soo rare.
Amazing ❤
thats really cool
The amount of air for that contrabass must be insane
Great vibrato, congrats!!!
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!
Really thought we were about to hear Uptown Girl
Oooft didnt know there was sucha thing as a contra bass flute but daamn that low end is so gooooooood
Awesome !!
Never seen a flute that size
Very beatiful
Badass!
Even as a flute player, i have never heard how a contrabass flute sounds, but as demonic as it looks i now wanna play it
How a short person look playing normal flute
Those 3 notes feeling left out😢😂
That has to feel so cool playing that low on a flute
Just waiting for the subcontrabassflute to drop
Wow ❤
I’m getting lightheaded just watching you
Dude the contrabass looks crazy
The contrabass makes we wanna drink something from a crazy straw, like the nostalgic 90s kid I am...
Классный мужик!)
flute ❌
Tuba flute ✔️
😂😂
I don’t know why this was recommended to me, but I am not disappointed
Me when I see a concert bass (ITS AVARAGE ALRIGHT
What a fun video! Thank you for sharing! :) My dog was very interested in the highest and lowest notes haha
My cat too😂..
I didn’t even know a piccolo was a flute
A flute counts as any woodwind that doesnt use a reed, and blows into the instrument in a particular way. For example, if you've ever blown into plastic or glass bottles, thats a flute.
The second on is pretty much a construction pipe with holes and keys
Pretty sick! 😅🤣😎👍🏻
Muy interesante.
Gracias.
Isn’t that how Cartman found the brown note?
Contrabass timbre W
me : flutes are small and you cant even hear them.🤣🤣 contrabass flute player: * hits me with their flute*
Best flute for marching band contrabass flute
that's like the range of a good trombone player lol
Buddy you'll pass out
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!
now i want to hear a piccolo contrabass duet :)))))
the contrabass looks like something ud summon a dragon with
Can even imagine how the case looks like
That contrabass looks goofy ngl 😭
You forgot the double contrabass flute. Oh wait
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
When she played the first note on the piccolo I actually thought it was the piano
The last note was super wavy but good job geting it that low
I wish this lesbian just had a bong shaped like a flute
Flutes were always considered to be small until the contrabass came in.
dang contra was sick 😮
Dont be shy, show us the subcontrabass/hyperbass flute
I like contraBASS!🤗

it looks like the top half of a clarinet
That contrabass flute probably takes up some air
I didn’t know they make a flute that big
*I never knew there was such a thing as a contrabass flute!*
There's even a double contrabass flute.
I have never seen a flute like that before 😮😅
Sub contrabass reaches the lowest C
I WISH MY SCHOOL HAD THE CONTRABASS FLUTE!!!!!! I WANNA PLAY IT SO BADDDDDDDDDDDDDD
We're gonna need a bigger flute.
Got it, so these are the only two kinds of flutes an ensemble needs cause they cover the whole desired range 👍 understood
let’s be real is anyone hearing the contrabass in an orchestra or even a flute choir 😭
That’s HUGE
You could go to the sub contrabass, it exists and it might complete the piano
Never thought a flute could be that low pitched
I wish hyperbass flutes were more common lol
"we almost got the piano."
