Friday Flute Feature: Guo Tenor Flutes

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

Carolyn Nussbaum Music Co. Bret Newton used the term Tenor Flute cause it's only an Octave below the Standard Flute.

Really nice sound. Thanks for the demo!

[@denisbarbier-flutist6676]

Thank you Carolyn for the comparaison of the two flutes; it's very interesting. You play great, with a beautiful vibrato !

Hi Carolyn, and thanks for the demonstration. I wanted to ask you if the flute in Grenaditte only sounds darker or even has a higher volume, if it is possible to play even at 442 hertz or the tuning fork is set at 440 (as I heard in a presentation of the new voice tenor flute) and if the weight is still less compared to a metal tool. Thank You and congratulations for your playing.

[@CarolynNussbaumMusic]

Hi there! Yes, both could theoretically play at 442. The grenaditte definitely has a darker, more robust sound.

[@diegomarangon5470]

@@CarolynNussbaumMusic Thank You!

[@denisbarbier-flutist6676]

Yes, in fact the tuning is possible at 442 hz, it depends of the air pression you give. At the beginning I thought it was 440, but, changing a little bit my playing, it goes up to 442 !

[@instrumentalheadquarters7062]

Technically Guo is right about it being a Tenor. "Bass Flutes" are really not in the bass range. They are pitched in the tenor range, I could see it beong called a bass flute if there wasnt lower flutes, but like the contrabass flute is the true Bass Flute.

[@denisbarbier-flutist6676]

that's true ! nevertheless, it's called "bass" for so long time ...

[@DougYeager]

part of me wishes the industry had just named things via a more scientific method, i.e. bass flute a C3, alto flute G3, concert flute C4 - you could call the instrument anything you wanted for branding, just put the register in the name somewhere

The grenaditte sounds like it has more body. Definitely denser and richer in color than the New Voice version.
