message: What does "harder" tone mean (in the most recent edit, of March 22, 2006)?  If it's lush and velvety, that would seem to be the opposite of "hard."  Badagnani 22:46, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If there is high end "chiff" in the sound, I might call this an "edgier" tone. Badagnani 20:40, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Can someone clarify is this is a transposing instrument? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.229.221.138 (talk) 07:47, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it's in C, although it sounds an octave lower than written.  Badagnani 15:58, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Some people consider even octave-transposing instruments to be transposing instruments, so it's not entirely clear-cut.  Best to describe it as Badagnani does: a C instrument which sounds an octave lower than written.  --Myke Cuthbert 17:15, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I would question this sentence as it is in contradiction to the last section on repertoire that states "Many composers are beginning to write more for the bass flute..." which I believe is true. Certainly there is much more contemporary music that includes parts for bass flute now than there has been in the past. I have taken it out for now.

thread_title:  "It is rarely found in scores today." 

message: The bass flute in the score of The Planets is, I think, actually an Alto Flute. It is hard to tell, because for many years (and even, to some degree, in the present) English scores often referred to the Alto Flute as Bass. Gingermint (talk) 07:31, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The "Bass Flute" part in The Planets is written in G, (and cued in other parts a fourth lower than written) which means it's an Alto Flute. -- megA (talk) 10:16, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

message: I'm not a flautist, but isn't the picture at the top of this page an alto flute, not a bass flute?  I've seen both straight and curved alto flutes, but this one looks almost identical to the picture on the alto flute page (except for the coloring).Kaiserkarl13 (talk) 21:54, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
