español term

flauta en sol

español al inglés Otros Música
This is actually from a text about a visual artist working in conjunction with a musician. Both are from Argentina

Para la segunda (ver obra pág. xxx), que parte de un trabajo de mayor tamaño y con los marcos desbordados, ella, ahora con flauta en sol, reservó unos trémolos intempestivos

Thanks

alto flute

Like alto saxophone: NOT contralto (that's for singers). Not usually called a G flute, though in theory it could be. It's particularly important to distinguish these terms because there is also a contra-alto flute, also sometimes known as a contrabass flute, which is also in G but an octave lower than the alto flute: a fourth below a bass flute. See here:

"La flauta en Sol (llamada también flauta alto), es una flauta que se encuentra afinada una cuarta inferior a la flauta "normal"."

It's also sometimes called a flauta alto in Spanish.

Thanks, Joel :)
agree Noni Gilbert Riley : Yes, and David's Dolmetsch ref in his post, predictably informative and definitive, makes it quite clear with a range diagram alongside the list of flutes.
