This bass flute represents the context of my idea for a new theory of tone. The core point is the fundamental contrast between pure consonances and dissonances, which, however, are united as this pair of opposites in this theory. In my 10th conversation with ChatGPT, I continued to try to formulate this.
We can hear and calculate pure consonances precisely. We can only calculate dissonances precisely, but we cannot determine them unambiguously by hearing. When playing J.S. Bach's music, for example, we can only play the dissonances approximately at the pitch. We have to decide whether to play the dissonance sharper and higher or softer and lower. Both can be correct. However, we have no access to the exact pitch by hearing. A) it is an irrational number in the calculation, B) but more importantly: it cannot be heard at the pitch. We can say it is a dissonance, but we cannot say it is played exactly at the pitch. In this text you find more explanations:

This instrument is part of my new ton-theory.
Pure consonances and dissonances are opposing tonal qualities that are united in a new tonal theory.
