THANK YOU! finally someone know`s what they`re talking about! yeah...the higher the notes go the more painful. contemporary music = hearing loss!

the high F is heinous...i won`t even talk about the F#!

yeah..anything above the staff has that like ooo what note is that?? wait *counts lines and figures out* holy cow that`s HIGH kind of effect of people

i heard F from my private teacher... i can only play up to C# :X

If you think that is bad fluteloops, try playing the piccolo most of the time! I do have to use ear plugs now, though it is still my first choice to play in any group.

yeah, KC, my teacher has to practice with earphones and her boyfriend also wears a pair and goes to the other end of the house

LOL!!!

it`s a D& a f cuz i can play a high high high E flat,and the reson why u don`t see the f in music is cuz it takes alot of wind power and its to high to reconize its an f so why put it in a song.
0=open
x=closed
t= thumb
a= a flat key
c=low c key
e= e flat key
,=y trill key
`=z trill key
for high D its tooxxxoc
for high E flat txxxax,xxe
for high f its oxoox`o

if there`s no thumb sign that means no thumb

Oh boy...reading these is...um...interesting-I do not believe that I will jump into this one...have fun...

Oh, come on Jessie, you know you want to! Lol!!!
Where do some of these people come up with this stuff anyway? I can always get a good laugh when comming to this site.

Yes, I agree that F7 (or is it F6?) is the highest possible note on a flute. I have been to many flute recitals, and that is the highest note I`ve ever heard.

As for all the higher notes - well, those are best left to the piccolo.

Thomas

F of the 4th octave of the flute. That is the top octave of the piano, therefore F7, if this naming convention is related to a piano.

actually the highest note is an f# but i doubt you`ll ever hit that in a piece

True.

And it is MAYBE possible that a player with exceptional air pressure, and appropriate fingering, could get higher still, especially if the position of the crown cork was drastically altered for the occasion, but who would want to hear it!

I once read that acousticians had worked out that higher notes could not be played. Perhaps that was because they considered that the air pressure required to induce a flute to play this high a harmonic, was beyond the realm of human possibility.

the only reson why people want to know these notes is to beat someone in a chair battle or just to show off!

p.s sorry about the fingerings.

I suppose that is largely true, but not completely. I have a recording that finishes on F7, which sounds very appropriate. But that piece, like quite a few pieces, was really a showing off exercise in itself. Nothing too much wrong with that, if audience approval is any thing to go by.

You are hilarious, KC!!!
You`re right...I want to...
I believe it is a high F, probobly #...not sure-I am not in band right now and even my beginner skills are slipping away from me!
That was fun KC!!!!
