[edit]

I do not think there is much to do about this article, it is quite hard to find more "valueable" info on this article, I was thinking however we have one page for all the flute family of instrutments, it would make it longer and save space if we had all the diffrent types of flutes and what makes them diffrent under the same article...Just thought I would put that out in the open.

Burn it all down, start over

[edit]

This article needs a complete and total rewrite. As is, it is hopelessly confused between its supposed topic, the "contra-alto" flute (pitched between the bass flute and contrabass flute), and the regular alto flute (pitched between the regular flute and the bass flute). I attempted to replace the article with a stub containing only information about its topic (and removing all information specific to the alto flute), as well as add a disambiguation link to "alto flute", but that change was flagged by a bot as potential vandalism. There's limited information available on this obscure instrument, and I don't have time to do the research, but we at least need to remove the flatly-wrong information.MadContrabassoonist (talk) 15:56, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

After several rounds of edits with the bots, I have succeeded in replacing the original article with an at-least-factually-acurate-and-relevant stub. I also removed the two pictures, as neither was of a "contra-alto" flute. All of the repertoire listed on the old article was for the regular alto flute, not the "contra-alto". Finally, I removed the price from the article, as it does not appear on the current version of reference website and is liable to become outdated quickly anyway.MadContrabassoonist (talk) 16:19, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
