Flute choir

Flute choir

A flute choir is an instrumental ensemble consisting entirely of instruments from the flute family. Typically it will include piccolo 1-2, flute 1-4, alto flute, and bass flute, but may include other harmony flutes such as the contra-alto flute, contrabass flute, and double contrabass flute. In total size it may range from a chamber group of eight or so players to a band of forty or more.
