I purchased an alto flute some time ago to compliment my other flutes. I have been very surprized by the lack of repetoire for the instrument. It makes wonderful rich sound in the lower register and is a joy to play. I have arranged The girl with Flaxen Hair for the alto mainly because its wonderful warm tone suits the piece perfectly, in my humble opinion better than the "normal" flute. Hope you enjoy. Please contact me if you perform this arrangement.
