Bass flute
Is the bass flute mentioned in the article a true bass flute in C or is it what we now call an alto flute? The true bass flute seems to be somewhat of an orchestral rarity, and the term "bass flute" used to be applied to the alto flute (in The Planets, written six years earlier, Holst specifies a "bass flute in G" i.e. alto flute)

I haven't actually seen the score, so please correct me if I'm wrong. TrumpetMan202 (talk) 04:13, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
