Another demonstration of ignorance. Why is it that in this forum so many people say so much that they know nothing about!!!

Some very simple research of fingering charts will show that you are completely wrong.

"He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool; avoid him"

Is this an American disease?

The highest note on the flute is C, or as I like to call it, GRAND C. The fingering is the 1, 2, 3, 4, and Ab key (the one for ur left pinky). Good Luck!!

Yeah, good luck! I`ve yet to venture it myself.

No the C is not the highest note on the flute. I like what Meme wrote.
Please don`t answer a question if you do not know what you are talking about.
No Meme, it is no an American thing, it is a young inexperienced persons thing.

Was the first person asking for a standard highest note, or a highest note possible to get out?

The standard is C. The end.

Ya, there is tons more to be found out, and are used already, but you wouldn`t use it in any band, orchestra, symphony etc. So it`s not much deal.

What do you mean by `standard`. As far as I know, no such thing has ever been defined. Do you mean YOUR standard? If not, whose? Your teacher`s? High B is used far more often than the C, so is IT `the` standard?

No, some people just need to get a clue and grow up.

it cant be f because all leger lines have to end on a c retard..the fingering is 123pinky1

The highest note is definetly F! All who think outerwise are ignorent! :0

And I have only been in band for less than a year and even I know that!

go to this website and you will see

Do you guys consider 6th grade young? Why am I asking?

I just now relised that this has been going on since Aprial 2003! That`s almost 2 yrs!

actually there is a high f# (i`m pretty positive) i know for a FACT that there is an F because i can play it. look up the fingering chart online or something. however, it is not in ANY music so it`s just for fun if you play it. i`m referring to the 8va of the F above the staff/the 8va of the 3rd octave F = 4th ooctave F (wow...that was the same thing aoubt 3 times..) the highest note in orchestral music is the D4 so that`s as high as the essentials go..everything else is just for torturing people

just check out the link fluteperson has put up and you will find that it isn`t c. and for all you thick people who can`t click the link, on a modern c flute the highest is f#7
