I need to know if there is a fingering for an A#3 on a b foot flute.

Its also played as Bb (I think this is the A# you are talking about) its thumb key and (*on left hand*)~~>pointer finger and the clicky key between your pointer and middle. **hope this helps, and I hope this is the same A# as your are talking about**

I've heard of people talk about that low A#/Bb. You could only play that if you had an extension to make the foot longer. I don't know of any company that makes them.

There is no foot that has a low A#/Bb there is only a foot that goes as low as B. yes there is lots of music out there that goes that low in the flute part but most of the composers do not play the flute nor did they look at the range capabilities either. I have ran into a pice like that once. I have asked numerous professors and professionals about what i should do and they said just skip the note. I did hear about one professional that is extremely rich and had a Bb foot made for his flute. But that was extremely expencive becuase its the only one is existance that anyone knows about. Hope this helps

opps, I thought you meant the 3rd octave A# that a flute can do, opps. My fault.
