Merge proposal

You should merge this page to Subcontrabass flute. --—Preceding unsigned comment added by Frosty0814snowman (talk • contribs)

I disagree with this. The terminology is different. The term "double contrabass flute" always refers to the flute pitched in C, three octaves below the regular concert flute. However, the term "subcontrabass flute" is unclear because it is used both to refer to the flute in C three octaves below the concert flute (the "double contrabass flute") as well as, more commonly, to refer to the flute in G two octaves lower than the alto flute. Thus, "subcontrabass flute" needs its own page describing the two instruments for which the term "subcontrabass flute" is used. Badagnani 12:46, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Removal

The exact number of instruments made should be mentioned in the article, as it's highly notable; removal was unwarranted.[1]. Badagnani (talk) 08:01, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. The page that the statistic apparently came from is [2]. However that page now states 'Kotato Flutes are custom made only' meaning that more will be made on demand. Alternatively if you can find a reference that says only four have been made it could go back in. -- Flutefluteflute ^Talk ^{Contributions} 08:04, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We base our articles on references, and that was referenced. The removal was unwarranted. The addition of text such as "As of 2006..." would solve things. Badagnani (talk) 08:09, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah yes, that's the official policy, not always the way things work out in practice. I just hope no one removes the picture. It's hillarious. Willi Gers07 (talk) 19:35, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The double contra-alto flute and the double contrabass flute are different instruments.

Double contra-alto flute in G, length: 15 feet
Double contrabass flute in C, length: 18 feet

They are different instruments. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 22:09, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please be on the lookout for future massive, damaging blanking at this article. Thanks for your vigilance. 76.190.213.189 (talk) 20:18, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please refer to the merge discussion that took place on Talk:Subcontrabass flute nearly a year ago and which this anonymous editor has been ignoring ever since. — Jon (talk) 02:34, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
