Alto and bass flutes
The "low flutes" – the alto, bass, and contrabass flutes – have been gaining popularity since the 1990s, especially thanks to the Kingma System. Dutch flute maker Eva Kingma has developed a system that uses a standard open-hole system, with a C# trill key and six additional keys. These extra keys allow small keys to be placed over open holes in the keys that cannot be directly operated by the fingers (for example, in the G# key and thumb keys), enabling even quarter tones across the entire range of the instrument.
