Don't be a bore, Fartingale. It was definitely a octocontrabass
recorder.

Ask Dickless, fan. He's the alleged expert.

Dolmetsch is currently prototyping a "double contrabass recorder".

Low whistles go down only into alto country -- rarely tenor -- probably
because the idea of putting keywork on a whistle seems contradictory.

Interesting. Are there any recordings - does it sound any good?

I saw a bass recorder with no keys, and one of my friends actually played
it, but I couldn't because my hands aren't big enough.

I don't like carnies. Small hands, you know.

I stand corrected, fan.

I remember a photo of a man playing a recorder probably of about 8ft
from the 1970s; would that be a contrabass in C? Is the Dolmetsch double
contrabass a 12ft F or a 16ft C one?

As far as I can tell, Dolmetsch's low line is as follows:

Tenor 2' C
Bass 3' F
Great Bass 4' C
Contrabass 6' F
Contra Great Bass 8' C (in prototype)
Double Contrabass 12' F (starting prototyping)
