Please put on those headphones!

The bass flute is quite an interesting instrument, combined with adding reverb and echo to it, it becomes something even cooler. I had pieces of this written for something else (maybe Bass Clarinet) but I decided just to stitch them all together and play it on bass flute.

The song reminds me a little bit of Debussy's Syrinx. But overall the music reminded me of what going inside a cave feels like, where everything is eery and there is a hollow echo to everything. Hope you like it!

  • I am currently considering playing the bass flute for high school ( In eighth grade now:) I've played alto flute, oboe, and now I'm needing to make my final decision. Please comment and tell me if I should give it a shot! Thanks!

  • what kind of bass flute are you playing? I am in the market to buy one. Thanks!

  • Needs more delay.

  • Very nice sound. It looks like you're using a pickup to record the flute, can you recommend a good flute pickup? I've tried a couple of them but never been satisfied. Thank you.

  • genius. 

  • how do you not like, pass out xD

  • Actually, bass flute takes less air, because the embochure hole on a regular flute is smaller, therefore you lose more air when you blow into it. The piccolo takes the most air, because of it's tiny embochure hole. You lose around 98% of your air.

  • @maxmythic Ink I bet it's hard to do vibrato on bass flute. Well for me it would be.

  • its pretty low volume but then gets loud in a few parts. interesting and very expressive. beautiful vibrato.

  • @uberlutra What happened to it?
