So as it turns out Dave Copley makes flutes in G. Mine should be done in August.
Just thought I’d add that after the prolonged discussion of G flute options!
Well, is that the G above our usual D or the G below it?
If it’s alto wouldnt that mean below??
So is it an A flute with extra bottom keys or a true six-finger G?
Sorry, if that wasn’t clear it is above.
Alto is typically above tenor, tenor being the common reference to low d whistles and flutes.
Baritone would be below the tenor.
and then the bass well even lower
Anyway, we have another contender in the G market
Maybe Dave can make G body for my F flute. What a combo 
Thanks. I asked since (at least in germany) the “normal” Böhm flute is called soprano flute, and the alto flute is the “low” Böhm in low A oder low G. I personally adapted this to the wooden sticks (as many makers also have, i.e. George Ormiston).
Oh nooooooo!!! Here we go with one of those dreadful terminology conundrums again! At least this is a less regular and perhaps less awkward one than the one about key/pitch-naming the instruments!
In this case, it all depends (as always) on what you are talking about and which set of terms you want to use… For mediaeval and Renaissance consort flutes, yes, the “tenor” would be (usually) the 2 foot D that is the ancestor of the “concert” flute of later times, and the other members of the consort would be named, as Demon Piper says, above and below that reference point using the normal SSATB schema… So if you come from an Early Music background, that would be your expectation of the terminology.
However, if you come from the modern orchestral world’s perspective, the “C” concert flute (our 2 foot D again, really) is as Gabriel said, the “soprano” and the alto and others lie below it. [Of course the modern Alto Boehm flute, nominally in G (as played by Sarah Allen of Flook, for example) has a 6-finger note of A and we folkies would think of it as “in A”.]
Demon Piper also said “tenor being the common reference to low d whistles and flutes”, and I’d debate that - I don’t think it is common at all!
In the ITM world, in my experience, we don’t tend to use the SSATB terminology at all, but rather refer to a flute by its 6-finger note/home diatonic scale and indicate if it is above or below the concert flute - the basic reference point - by adding “High” or “Low” to the description, perhaps with the assumption that if neither term is used, it will probably by above, although Low C and Bb flutes are often simply referred to without the “Low”.
“Horses for courses” , then, and let confusion reign!!!
I’m still not 100% clear myself what size was originally being referred to, but I think a High G was meant, as quite often used in Italian and southern French music??? In any case, a Low G (6-finger note) simple system flute would require huge hands, or very compromised tone-hole positions (or thick walls and oblique drilling), or Siccama type keywork… I’ve never heard of one, though I imagine the sound could be rather amazing.
How much are these? Can’t find em on Dave’s website.
Dave in fact offerred through Doc Jones to make me an F body to go with the G flute, so he could make you another body for the HJ and he makes a fine flute!
