#bass flute

[rachaelmayo]

This is Jazzdragon 19, one of the largest and most complex in the series. I made this in 2011.

A DA friend sent me a video of a musician playing a contrabass flute - these instruments are amazing, and the player must have had the lungs of a dragon in order to move air through the thing. It was huge! Taller than she was! I wanted to take that up a notch with the Jazzdragon, and make playing the flute a whole-body exercise. So Jazz 19 is playing the sub-sub-contrabass flute with his toes.

The dragon was done in two layers - the main body and that large wing on the left side of the picture. He's colored with Prismacolor pencils and gold paint pen.

Behind the dragon is copper-colored repousse metal tooled with... Bach, I think. I can't remember what I referenced for the musical notation. The dark round things are acrylic "dragon tears" I nabbed from a convention, and the green/brown discs are dyed shell. The deep background is a mix of acrylic, ink, and glitter with tiny rhinestones attached.

Currently frothing at the mouth trying to find a bass flute for sale, I can not stop thinking about it. Tune in next time to find me gnawing on the fute center door handle

Anyone else get the insatiable urge to play a new instrument?

Anyways, I would really, really love to find an alto flute. They're so beautiful and very much underrated. I had the opportunity to play with one in high school and haven't thought about it much since then, but damn. I would absolutely love to have one of my own someday.

And in not taking the idea off the table either, I recently discovered that dreams can, in fact, come true sometimes when I bought my bari sax for a ridiculously small price.

rtc au but instead of them being in the choir they’re band kids.

the instruments i think they would play (under the cut)

jane doe: she would play string bass. why? ‘cause i believe people outside of band, if you asked them about band usually wouldn’t think about the string bass and she was the forgotten member of the choir and joined late. (and also, electric bass is usually forgotten about so there’s also that.)

ricky potts: he would play trombone. why? ‘cause he just seems like a person who would enjoy gliss (glissando) and i don’t really have much of a reason for this one he just seems like a trombone player.

noel gruber: he would play saxophone, alto saxophone to be specific. why? ‘cause saxophone was popular in post war france.

ocean o’connell rosenburg: she would play the flute. why? ‘cause flute is an instrument played by more girls than boys, (google says 57.04% of flutists are female,) and also in my head flute and good grades are associated together and i don’t have a reason why, so yeah.

mischa bachinski: he would play trumpet. why? i honestly don’t have a reason for this expect for he gives off trumpet player vibes.

constance blackwood: she would play the clarinet. why? ‘cause clarinet is most similar to recorder and her recorder solo in sugar cloud.

bass clarinet: actually you’re the coolest

saxophone: i hate you with a burning passion, let’s make out

flute: i want to study you

trumpet: how the fuck are you so loud there’s like four of you

oboe: absolutely shaking in fear. you scare me. why do you sound like that

trombone: funky little guy, what the fuck are you doing?

tuba: you go!!

horns: oh. you.

percussion: you…you know we can hear you, right?

strings instruments: guitars but big/small

I’m finally starting to see progress on self teaching myself bass and I’m SO excited. These photos are from when I first got it in April and I haven’t been very consistent with playing but part of that is because of how small our place is and we also have a roommate (and I have executive dysfunction lmao)

But I’ve been practicing more lately and I can play a few songs pretty ok/almost perfect but I still don’t know the fretboard fully so I took a step back and am now trying to better learn them first before fully going into more songs!

That way I can better play by ear and not rely on tabs and also feel more confident.

I played flute & a lil piano for 15 years so I’m used to sheet music and stuff but I am so used to treble clef that bass clef is so foreign to me haha. But I’ll get there!! And stringed is also so different from keys but I love experiencing the joy of learning a new instrument all over again, I feel like I’m 9 again 💙

Once I’m more confident I’d love to post videos on here or on my YouTube of covers, there’s SO many songs I wanna cover hahaha

Just know you CAN do it! And if one way isn’t working, maybe step back and try to find another way that could work better for you. Pluck or use a pick, use one finger or two, use tabs/sheet music or play by ear. Whatever works for you!! And this doesn’t just apply to music ✨

I’ve been unmedicated with audhd my whole life and always felt like I was behind because I was always trying to do things one way. But finding ways to accommodate yourself is so essential for your own growth
