Interesting instrument, but I dislike this journalistic style. We didn't really get to hear the instrument even.

She plays some notes at about 1:10 without the high-pitched flute backing track.

Kind of surprised it has a lot of harmonics. Flutes generally produce something that's at least close to a pure sine wave, but apparently not this one.

I like how the melodic line is the backing track to you. This instrument would be the backing track of the music.

Given the story is about a particular instrument, it was kind of annoying that you can only really hear it by itself for a brief segment. If I was listening to the music just to listen to music, then yeah, the extreme bass flute wouldn't be what I would be focusing on.

Well, a few notes. As she said, it isn't really a solo instrument.
