The alto flute is in the key of G, and the low register extends to the G below middle C; its highest note is a high G (4 ledger lines above the treble staff). The bass flute is an octave lower than the concert flute, and the contrabass flute is an octave lower than the bass flute.
A careful examination of the flute fingering for the notes D ♯ 6 through G ♯ 6 reveals that they are actually a combination of third and fourth harmonic fingerings. For example, the D ♯ fingering is like the low D ♯ 4 with the addition of the G ♯ key vented, for which D ♯ 6 is the third harmonic.
Notes that are shown as sharp or flat in a key signature will be played that way in every octave—e.g., a key signature with a B ♭ indicates that every B is played as a B ♭. A key signature indicates the prevailing key of the music and eliminates the need to use accidentals for the notes that are always flat or sharp in that key. A key ...
The gizmo key is illustrated in red. The gizmo key is a key commonly found on the B foot joint of certain models of flute . It closes the low B tone hole without closing the low C tone hole or the low C ♯ tone hole, which is intended to facilitate the performance of the fourth octave C.

Many further refinements have been made, and countless design variations are common among flutes today (the "offset G" key, addition of the low B foot, etc.) The concepts of the Boehm system have been applied across the range of flutes available, including piccolos , alto flutes , bass flutes , and so on, as well as other wind instruments.
It is normally in the key of G, with G4 being the lowest note. It produces a very "textured" and "dark" timbre because of the length-to-bore ratio of about 16 to 20 (subsequently causing difficulty in the upper register), which is very unlike the tone of the Western concert flute with a length-to-bore ratio of about 38 to 20. Quenacho made in ...
Although the enharmonic key of A-flat major is preferred because A-flat major has only four flats as opposed to G-sharp major's eight sharps (including the F), G-sharp major appears as a secondary key area in several works in sharp keys, most notably in the Prelude and Fugue in C-sharp major from Johann Sebastian Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1.
