The bass flute sounds an octave lower than the more common concert flute, expanding the flute family to its lowest range. The instrument was recorded in the relatively dry and controlled environment of our second studio, the Silent Stage, and offers all common articulations.

The bass flute is a very special gem. With its velvety, earthy sound in the flute family’s low register, it evokes mystery and depth in dramatic music. To hold the heavy instrument, flutist Vera Fischer had to suspend it with two slings during the exhaustive recordings at the Silent Stage.
