Is that bass flute a traverso flute or a bass recorder?
Good point. I think the Baroque recordings mentioned must have been for recorders. The word "flute" in English meant "recorder" up to at least the end of the 17th c.
And while you are doing that research: what, exactly, is a flute d'amore?
We already had this discussion, about a month ago. The flute d'amour (or flauto d'amore) was a flute in A. My sources say it had no literature of its own, but was simply an alternative type of flute, playing the ordinary flute literature at the same pitch, but with a mellower tone.
