C♯5 on the Flute
Written C♯5. Tap the diagram to hear it.
Everything comes up except the E-flat key — the emptiest fingering on the flute. With almost nothing closed, the instrument is supported only by the chin, right thumb and little finger, so this is where flutes get dropped; C-sharp is also naturally sharp, so ease the air instead of pushing.
