Flute
Low C♯ on the Flute
Written C♯4. Tap the diagram to hear it.
All six fingers with the right little finger on the C-sharp lever, the middle of the three footjoint keys. Its tone hole sits almost at the end of the tube, so it is the weakest note in the low register: keep the air slow and steady and let the flute rest firmly on the left index finger, because rolling the pinky between C-sharp and C is where beginners lose the balance of the instrument.
