It has a range of about 3 octaves, from lower C (or B). Its sound can be clear, penetrating, large, sparkling, spicy, hot, cold, happy or sad ...

The alto flute in G. It looks much like the flute, but is longer and produces a sound four notes lower.

The bass flute in C . It is also similar to the flute in concert, but it is even longer and its mouthpiece is curved so the musician can reach the keys. It produces a sound an octave below the flute.
