Contrabass flutes have also been made from [[polyvinyl chloride|PVC]] pipe by the Dutch flute maker Jelle Hogenhuis.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Toff |first=Nancy |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NwENAG82r24C |title=The Flute Book: A Complete Guide for Students and Performers |date=2012-09-13 |publisher=OUP USA |isbn=978-0-19-537308-0 |language=en}}</ref> If the wall thickness is kept small, the PVC creates a louder contrabass. PVC can also sustain more rough treatment.
