non-western instruments ambitus for other instruments

[hujairi]

I'm curious to know if there is any way to contribute to the list of instruments as found under ambitus-instrument? I often compose for Oud and Korean traditional instruments, and it would be nice to find other instrument templates that are ready to work with.

We can add the instrument names to the list.

Please send me the name of the instrument and the range.

Example:

(alto-flute (-5 31))
(alto-flute-g (-5 31))
(alto-flute-f (-7 33))
(alto-flute-eb (-8 33))
(bass-flute (-14 13))
(bass-flute-bb (-14 13))

Dear Janusz,

Many thanks for this. I will suggest some instruments and give their ranges. Oud is a little problematic only because it is not built in a standard way and the tuning of the instrument is different depending on school/country/region. I guess that means there would need to be several types of different Ouds (and different musicians use instruments with different string numbers). I personally play on a seven string Oud.
