The standard concert flute, also called C flute, Boehm flute, silver flute, or simply flute, is pitched in C and has a potential range of three and a half octaves starting from the note C4 (middle C). The flute's highest pitch is usually given as C7 or (in more modern flute literature) D7/. More experienced flautists are able to reach up to F7, but notes above D7 are difficult to produce. Modern flutes may have a longer foot joint, a B-footjoint, with an extra key to reach B3.
