When you said “my name is Colton and I’m woodwind obsessed” I felt that

[@woodwindobsessed1532]

It’s the best obsession in the world!

[@BKrystall]

I also hope that you have the entire saxophone and clarinet family

[@woodwindobsessed1532]

Sadly not yet:( still working on those! I have 3 clarinets out of 5, and 1 sax out of 4.

[@NOLJAK]

Welcome back glad to see your making some videos now and then!. Great video.

[@woodwindobsessed1532]

Thanks!

[@raquelvasquez5152]

How I wish there could be more videos just like this on every instrument, because I'm always trying to compare instruments to see specifically what the ranges are. I believe that you have done a great job that I imagine that others admire your work. You should be very proud of yourself, because it is very well detailed. I see your woodind obsessed haha. So, do you play all woodind instruments? If so, you should try making a video like this of each one. Keep it up.

It's Bb3 on the Bb flute.

[@woodwindobsessed1532]

It’s a C flute; not a Bb flute. I really do need to practice using the ASPN though. It would’ve helped me so much in past band classes.

[@jackieboyer3177]

Low C = C4 on the piano, or B3 if you have a B Foot

[@NOLJAK]

Also are you going to make a series with this type of videos for all the woodwinds I’m just wondering are you going to collect all the most common woodwind instruments? I’m just wondering that’s all. And yes I am going for mostly the typical wind instruments for concert band both brass and woodwinds!. And I suppose are collecting just woodwind instruments right??

[@woodwindobsessed1532]

Yup! Just woodwinds! Once I complete my saxophone and clarinet collections, I’ll do videos for them as well!

[@NOLJAK]

@@woodwindobsessed1532 awesome I’m sure looking forward to it.

[@LukeIsRAndom]

You should do an instrument collection every time you get a new instrument

[@Nkw022]

Another name for the key of C is concert pitched or the same as a piano usually.

[@andrewramirez5512]

The Db piccolo is the highest pitched in the flute family. ;)

[@al3x1s_m365]

Can you play the British grenadiers on the piccolo

[@woodwindobsessed1532]

Maybeeeeeeee

[@SuperJxl]

you've never seen a student start out on piccolo? i must be a first. i own a few different instruments and my first and currently only flute is a piccolo

[@sampohoreskeybuskinglooseb9238]

Good sound on them buti think there are some intonation issues between the instruments

[@sampohoreskeybuskinglooseb9238]

Mainly meaning your C flute is sharp

[@sampohoreskeybuskinglooseb9238]

There is a piece called Winter dreams which is a band piece with an alto flute

[@woodwindobsessed1532]

Yeah I completely forgot to tune before the video. Shame on me lol.

[@ryanwilk1642]

@@woodwindobsessed1532 What brand is your Bass flute?

[@woodwindobsessed1532]

@@ryanwilk1642 Unfortunately, not a nice one. It is a Chinese branded bass flute, but was completely overhauled by a technician before being sold to me. Intonation isn’t the best on it, but it was a great deal and I love it! It plays surprisingly easy in the low to mid register. I’ll actually be doing a full review on it in the upcoming months!
