Dolmetsch is currently prototyping a "double contrabass recorder".

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)
