Clearly not - too high. I wonder if anyone has made an octocontrabass
recorder & what it would sound like.

Dolmetsch is currently prototyping a "double contrabass recorder".


Interesting. Are there any recordings - does it sound any good?

Low whistles go down only into alto country -- rarely tenor -- probably
because the idea of putting keywork on a whistle seems contradictory.


I saw a bass recorder with no keys, and one of my friends actually played
it, but I couldn't because my hands aren't big enough.
