The contrabass flute is one of the rarer members of the flute family. Typically seen in flute ensembles, it is sometimes also used in solo and chamber music situations. Its range is similar to the regular concert flute, except it is pitched two octaves lower; the lowest performable note is two octaves below middle C (the lowest C on the cello). Many contrabass flutes in C are also equipped with a low B (in the same manner as many modern standard-sized flutes are). Contrabass flutes are only available from select flute makers.

| - De contrabasfluit (soms ook wel octobasfluit) is een houten blaasinstrument. Haar bereik is gelijk aan dat van de ‘gewone’ dwarsfluit, maar dan twee octaven lager; de laagste noot die gespeeld kan worden is twee octaven onder de centrale C (de laagste C op de cello.) Veel contrabasfluiten in C kunnen ook de lage B spelen, (evenals de meeste dwarsfluiten). (nl)

- Il flauto contrabbasso è un membro della famiglia dei flauti. Trova impiego principalmente nelle ensemble di flauti. Ha una estensione analoga a quella del flauto traverso, ma suona due ottave più in basso; la nota più bassa è due ottave sotto il do centrale (il do più basso del violoncello). Molti flauti contrabbasso in do hanno un si grave, (come molti flauti di taglia standard). I flauti contrabbasso sono disponibili solo presso alcuni fabbricanti scelti. I flauti contrabbassi sono realizzati anche in PVC. (it)
