[Am] [E]
[Am] [Dm] On this [Am] Stetson University [E]
stage [A] is an ensemble known on the [E] national stage.
[A]
[E] [A] [F] They are music [Am] teachers and [B] professors [E] [Am] who make up [E] the Florida Flute Orchestra [Am] [Dm] under the direction of [Am] Paige Law.
[E] [A] Very, very beautiful sounds.
[E] The instruments cover [Am] the range [Dm] of notes found on a piano [Am] keyboard.
The [D] piccolo hits the top C [E] and way [A] down below [E] at the lowest [C] C.
[F]
[C] [Em] [Gm] Well, that's only accomplished by the double [C] contrabass flute.
[N] Foghorn.
It is the lowest part of the orchestra.
It's not really what you would call a [F] solo instrument.
The double contrabass is made of more than 18 feet of tubing and stands 8 [C] feet [N] tall.
[A] [Abm] It, along with the [G] smaller subcontrabass in G, [B] [N]
makes up the lush bottom end of the flute orchestra.
Boy, are they rare.
Only four of these in the world.
One in Tokyo where it's made, one in Berlin, one in LA, and of course this one here in Flagler Beach.
This one even more rare.
Three in the world.
One in the Netherlands, one in Washington, D.C., and of course [Am] this one here in Florida.
[E] It takes some time and patience to set [Am] them up, but for [D] what they cost, [F] you wouldn't rush [G] it either.
Automobile pricing.
[A] Yeah.
That's why other [G] flute orchestra [Abm] conductors who say
We really need more [C] bottom.
Will [F] use PVC piping instead [Ab] for the low end.
[G] But not the Florida [A] Flute Orchestra.
It's the [E] real deal here.
[F] We blow.
We have to have a lot of air, [C] but it's a beautiful sound.
[F] And it [Gb] won't get [Am] bigger than [D] this [C] in Flagler Beach.
I've reached my limit.
