B♭3 on the Oboe
Written B♭3. Tap the diagram to hear it.
The lowest note: all six fingers plus the low B♭ key for the left little finger, which closes the low B pad along with it. It needs a well-soaked reed, slow warm air and a very open throat; if it refuses to speak, check that the bell key is closing fully before blaming yourself.
