The standard concert flute comes resplendant with a natural three octave range, from C1 to C4, however the more advanced and professional player can occasionally be found 'up in the gods' playing C-- 4 through to F--4.
On the odd occasion, the flute part may contain a low 'B' which is too low for a normal concert flute to play, unless it has an extra key. This extra key is situated on the footjoint below the 'C' tone hole and is called the low 'B'. This particular footjoint is therefore called a 'B footjoint' as opposed to the normal 'C footjoint' found as standard on all flutes. by Trevor James
