Hello, I am one of the thousands of volunteer editors at Wikipedia, where I write and edit various music-related articles. I wrote several on the very low flutes and have had links on at least two of them to photos in which you play them, but we never had any photos of people playing them. I am wondering if you might allow the photos of you playing the double contrabass and subcontrabass (double contra-alto) to be used here, as the representative photos of these instruments: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_contrabass_flute http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subcontrabass_flute As per Wikipedia's rules, the only specification would be that the photographer agree to release the photo under a "free" license such as the Creative Commons, which would allow the photo to be reused by anyone who finds it at Wikipedia, for any purpose (although the photographer would always have to be credited, and there would be a link to your website). Wikipedia is now the eighth most visited website in the world, so I think it would serve a good educational purpose, and you'd get a lot of views. Would you please let me know if that would be okay with you? Many thanks and best, Wikipedia user: Badagnani Kent, Ohio
