Answer 2

Members of the concert flute family

From high to low, the members of the concert flute family include:

* Piccolo in C or D-flat
* Treble flute in G
* Soprano flute in Eb
* Concert flute (also called C flute, boehm flute, silver flute, or simply flute)
* Flûte d'amour (also called tenor flute) in B-flat or A
* Alto flute in G
* Bass flute in C
* Contra-alto flute in G
* Contrabass flute in C (also called octobass flute)
* Subcontrabass flute in G (also called double contra-alto flute) or C (also called double contrabass flute)
* Double contrabass flute in C (also called octobass flute or subcontrabass flute)
* Hyperbass flute in C (also spelled hyper-bass flute)

Now, the most common of those above are these:

* Piccolo in C
* Concert flute in C
* Alto flute in G
* Bass flute in C

Now, if you are not asking JUST about orchestral flutes, there are many, many more, as evidenced by the personal collection once owned by King Henry VIII. Among his flutes were glass, crystal, porcelain, wooden, copper, and others.

I personally own a Hall Crystal flute, a porcelain flute, a wood "fife", and a copper flute.
