Hi, I just bought a flute with a low b foot. Now, I know how to finger the low b, but is there a fingering for low b flat? If there is one, can I please have it? I don't see it on any fingering charts, and I wanted it because I thought it would be cool to play the b flat scale in 3 octaves so I can amaze people.

When you play low B, you will notice that all the holes along the length of the flute are closed. That's the lowest it can go. If you open any holes, you will raise the pitch of the note.

to play low B flat on the flute is impossible with a low B foot joint.

Okay, thank you. I was just curious, and didn't want to wait until my next flute lesson to ask.
