Alto Flute: Range & Registers — Example 2

“The tone color of the alto flute is most distinctive in its low range, where it possesses even more of the dark richness one hears in the flute's lowest range. Some of that darkness is still heard in the middle register. It takes more air to play in the lowest register of the alto flute than for other members of the flute family.” [0:18–0:30]
