Finally, the bass flute player has an instrument that not only attains excellence of scale and tone, but now also comfort! The same attention to detail found on the 1123 diMedici bass flute is also present in the 1125 vertical bass flute, only with an added bend to allow the player to hold the instrument upright rather than out to the side, thus attaining a far more natural body position. This will allow for much longer playing sessions without pain and discomfort.
