A real low blow

Having seen a bass flute in my recent issue of PMEA magazine, I went to Google images to show my curious daughter how frickin' cool they are. I was then trumped, double trumped, and triple trumped by what I saw. At a site called Contrabass.com, there are oodles of subsonic instrumental debauchery that fascinated me. The site is horribly put together, but I'll give you the direct link to the flutes. You'll see a bass flute, contrabass flutes in G and C, and a hyperbass flute. Click on some of the maker's links to get pictures. They look like cursive 'J's. There's a 'T-headjoint' contrabass flute, where the headjoint goes across like a regular flute, doubles back on itself, but then goes down in the middle, and it looks at least 4' long. Day-um!!
