I disagree with this. The terminology is different. The term "double contrabass flute" always refers to the flute pitched in C, three octaves below the regular concert flute. However, the term "subcontrabass flute" is unclear because it is used both to refer to the flute in C three octaves below the concert flute (the "double contrabass flute") as well as, more commonly, to refer to the flute in G two octaves lower than the alto flute. Thus, "subcontrabass flute" needs its own page describing the two instruments for which the term "subcontrabass flute" is used. Badagnani 12:46, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
