B Foot fingering chart

Post by ComeThouFount »

Greetings again!
Another question...

I do have a number of beginner flute books....

But, is there a fingering chart online that includes the fingerings for the B Foot? The reason that I ask, is I really do not know how this flute "overall" differs then from a flute without the B Foot.

I would like to be very sure. Any charts online available so that I can sit and compare fingerings with all the charts that I have?

For example, if it has the B foot, how does it affect the other B note fingerings, and a host of other questions come to mind.

Thanks so very, very kindly.

Flutes with a B foot finger essentially the same as with a C foot. The B foot provides a few alternate fingerings and of course the low B.

Try this for reference - it shows the extra fingerings with a B foot:

Dear Pied Piper and Everyone!

I thank you also endlessly for helping me with this question, Pied Piper. I looked up this website and was able to review it and examine it. I detect that I will not need to make any adjustments in playing beginner books and easy books and all the rest, which is such a relief!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

And I had been at that website before. I just never noticed that it had ALL THAT! Thanks again.

God bless you!
AGAIN, I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY!
