Bass flute story, lesson, and size comparison.

I've created, for your viewing pleasure as well as a way to cure my boredom for a few mins, a short video on the bass flute. I sold it recently for a friend and the white gloves (if I didn't explain) are to prevent fingerprints since I had to ship it out that day. Video was created on November 24th, 2006. Enjoy!

@cFighter05 Yes

[lennic95]

Basically it's an octave lower?

Does it take the same note fingerings as the concert, or are they different?
