Instruments in progressive rock

Focus - Their use of Alto and Bass flute (which should actually be considered a 'tenor' flute, but that's not their fault) adds a haunting quality to many of their pieces

roger- there is such a thing as a "real bass flute".

tim weisberg used a model that i think fills the
"tenor flute" bill although it's not labeled as that.
this thing was (an est.) 3 ft. longw/ a circumference of
around 3 in.

the bass flutes that i've seen have a curved section
which are actually contrabass flutes.
believe it or not, there's also a contrabass flute
pitched 2 octaves below the bass flute!
here's a link to all the types of flutes-

i'll be introducing my flute playing on future zenpool recordings
(my neo-classical piece "for one day of peace" was the 1st).
