I wrote several on the very low flutes and have had links on at least two of them to photos in which you play them, but we never had any photos of people playing them. I am wondering if you might allow the photos of you playing the double contrabass and subcontrabass (double contra-alto) to be used here, as the representative photos of these instruments: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_contrabass_flute http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subcontrabass_flute As per Wikipedia's rules, the only specification would be that the photographer agree to release the photo under a "free" license such as the Creative Commons, which would allow the photo to be reused by anyone who finds it at Wikipedia, for any purpose (although the photographer would always have to be credited, and there would be a link to your website). Wikipedia is now the eighth most visited website in the world, so I think it would serve a good educational purpose, and you'd get a lot of views. Would you please let me know if that would be okay with you?

Let me know if you need to use a different size of the same photo that whatâ€™s on my website currently.

context_page_description: The Contra-alto flute or bass flute in the key of G, is a musical instrument of the woodwind family that plays sounds one octave lower than the alto flute. It is a transposing instrument. The instrument's body is held either vertically or horizontally, with an adjustable floor peg similar to that of the bass clarinet. The contra-alto flute is primarily used to fill in harmonic and melodic voices between the bass and contrabass flute. It is the baritone member of the flute family.
  The instrument maker Eva Kingma calls her contra-alto flute a "contr'alto flute in G," and Kotato & Fukushima call their instrument "bass flute in F." Kotato & Fukushima's instrument sells for US$17,500.
