The 3 Meters Very Bass Overtone Flute BY BRAS is a massive overtone instrument designed for musicians seeking very low frequencies, powerful airflow, and a deeply physical playing experience.

This is a very, very large bass overtone flute —
a 3-meter structure of air, controlled entirely by your breath, and surprisingly easy to play!

Tuning & scale

– Fundamental tuning: A
– Scale: Overtone scale

A 3-meter flute, made playable

This instrument is built as a 3-meter-long overtone flute, structured into multiple sections to make it playable and transportable.

The folded architecture uses connectors and U-turn geometry to:

– preserve the full acoustic length
– keep the instrument compact and stable
– allow a comfortable playing position

It is composed of:

– 1 × head pipe
– 1 × connector pipe
– 4 × body pipes

Despite its extreme size, the instrument remains balanced, modular, and usable in real playing situations.

Remote playing with flexible air control

The instrument is played using a flexible air tube system, allowing you to:

– play it at a distance
– keep a natural body position
– control a large air column with precision

A hybrid breath and percussion system

A 3D-printed striking paddle with laser-cut foam allows you to:

– strike the end of the flute
– seal it instantly and airtight
– trigger and control overtone response

This enables:

– deep percussive bass hits
– rhythmic opening and closing of the air column
– a strong connection between gesture and sound

The instrument becomes both:

a wind instrument • a percussive object • a physical sound system

Pure overtone playing

Like all overtone flutes:

– no holes, no keys
– pitch controlled through breath and pressure
– harmonic series as the core musical system

This opens a wide range of possibilities:

– drones
– harmonic textures
– micro-variations
– slow evolving soundscapes
