Written C7. Tap the diagram to hear it.

C7
Written C7 on the treble staff

The top of the standard student range: no thumb, left hand down with the G-sharp key, right first finger, and the E-flat key off. On a B-foot flute the gizmo key closes the low-B pad and makes C7 speak far more easily; a C-foot flute has no gizmo, so it depends entirely on very fast, accurately aimed air.
