How to Choose a Flute B Foot or C Foot
• How to Choose a Flute ...
But there's another one, a Low G Foot Joint made in Japan which gives your Flute the same range as a Violin plus it also improves the intonation on some of the notes which is super super important. There are Flutes pitched in the Key of Bb (like Bb Trumpets) but those are in the process of being revived.
Yes, there are a few different modified flutes out there besides Alto and Bass flute as well. Fun fun! I love when flute makers get creative!
@@LearnFluteOnline Me too
Thank you I've been playing for quite a while also, and I have rarely seen anything that has a low B in it.
You're right. It's very rare. I find that I use the low B the most when I'm playing off of music written for violin, piano, or a vocal score. But, we flutists can just opt to play the entire passage up an octave. Lucky us! -Rebecca
I learned on a C foot joint but my dad bought me a B foot flute for Christmas and I'm really excited as I've never played on one
That's awesome! You're going to be great, what a fun new challenge! - Rebecca | learnfluteonline.com
thank you for the information
& the gizmo Key
This blows my mind, awals nice to learn something new.
Thank you for the reply . Enjoy your work .
You're welcome. I'm glad you're here and learning to play the flute - it's fun! -Rebecca
Very helpful
I'm so glad you found this video helpful! Let me know if there's any questions you have. -Rebecca
I like and enjoy playing b foot joint flute!
Great job
Thank you! ~Rebecca
Look at 250 in the Video .I think you hold up the B foot when you say the C ... But no big deal .Sorry about my poorly typed message before . You are very sweet .And enjoy your channel .Thank you for your help .
Oh my goodness. You're right! I did hold up the B foot when I said C... oops. My bad. Good catch. Thanks for the heads up.. glad it doesn't matter either way. Have a fun week with your flute! -Rebecca
@@LearnFluteOnline how You Tubers fix this is with corrected Text that overlays the video instead of reshooting any video, so when you are holding up the B foot the Text says C foot ! This feature should be available in your editing suite, once fixed you just upload the new video.
Technically a b footjoint creates a darker, richer tone, while a c footjoint creates a warmer tone. Also, the gizmo key on the b footjoint allows a much cleaner high c.
Yes a High C Facilitater Key, so it's designed to improve the intonation.
Hi Rebecca! I just found you here. You may want to redo this one as you hold up the "B Foot" when you're talking about the "C Foot" and also you hold up the "C Foot" when you're talking about the "B Foot" (at the very end of your video) :-) But I did find this very helpful as I have just bought a B Foot flute. I've been playing for 51 years now! :-)
My mistake! Thank you for pointing this out to me, I'm glad you got it all figured out! - Rebecca | Learn Flute Online
Thank you .I think you showed the wrong one at the wrong time . But that okay . Good video . When I want to learn Tim Wiseberge material ,can;t do it because of no b foot . Can I purchase just a b foot . Problem ,cant reach it . SOOO ?Don't think it works that way . Need a gizzmo key
Hi Kevin, let me know what you're referring to as being 'wrong time' in this video - I'd love to fix it. Also, you need a B foot to have a gizmo. If you don't have a B foot then a gizmo isn't needed. The gizmo is to close the last key (B). You can purchase a B foot to go with your flute depending on the brand / make / model. Not really needed, but a fun option. :) -Rebecca
Hi! Is it possible to just switch between C foot and B foot on the same flute? Also, what’s the fingering for the lowest note with B foot? Does it change it for all the other notes?
Hi Lorraine, this is a great question, it IS possible to swap C foot and B foot IF the make/model allows for them to be the same size. The fingering for the lowest B is the same as low C except you roll onto one more roller bar (there are 2 instead of 1). Having a B foot does not change anything else about playing the flute. No fingerings are altered. Thanks for asking. Hope you get to join us at LearnFluteOnline.com - sounds like you'd be great here! -Rebecca
Rebecca Fuller ok thank you very much!
Can I get to buy a B foot joint separately which can fit to my current C flute? Please help with this. Thank you.
Yes this is possible.. sometimes. You need to contact the company where you got your flute and see if this is an option. If your flute is a lower quality, it might not be worth the trouble. But I am excited for you! ~Rebecca
Rebecca Fuller: Thank you
What if the song sheet that I wanna play has low B? Is it still possible to play that song? I'm a beginner with key C flute. Thanks.
Dexter, great question! The flute is a C instrument, but the B-foot allows you to play one note lower than most flutes do (the low B under the staff). If your sheet music has the lowest B below the staff line, you will not be able to play that note unless you have the B-foot. Hope this helps and good luck! ~Rebecca
is it possible to buy just the b foot joint separately?
It is sometimes possible. You need to contact the company where you got your flute and see if this is an option. If your flute is a lower quality, it might not be worth the trouble. ~Rebecca.
You're very sweet, and approachable, and this video is very nice and informative.
But to be honest, there is a bit of redundancy in here and it is twice as long as it needs to be imho.
also, if I'm not mistaken, you are holding the wrong foot while you tell the camera B or C foot t one point ☺
Thanks for the feedback. I tend to be thorough at times. :) Glad you understood the video so well. Good luck with your flute! -Rebecca | Learn Flute Online
@@LearnFluteOnline good attitude! 😃
Thorough is great ☺️
It's more about not repeating the same info just once too many times 😅
Don't get me wrong, the video was informative and I appreciate it 😉
@@LearnFluteOnline if dear Van can’t handle the thoroughness of a 3 + minute video, they could always watch something else or take a chill pill. Your thoroughness and poise inspires many and many need the thoroughness drummed into their heads. Your vids make me want to go buy a flute for myself today 😘
Can the B foot joint play Bb?
No, the lowest note a B foot joint can play is a B natural. Happy fluting! - Rebecca
@@LearnFluteOnline yeah, I just ordered Bb foot!
I wrote music for solo flute, I'm going to use it, because the music needs it to be there!
Your videos are helpful, Thank you!
Hi, could we play lower B without B-footjoint? Thanks again.
I don't think so, unfortunately! I don't have a B-footjoint, but the fingering to play the low b requires an extra roller key!
Areg, the lowest note that a flute can play without a B-footjoint is the C below the staff line. You do need a B-footjoint to play the low B below that. Fortunately, that low B is not in very many pieces and you can be a successful flutist without it. ~Rebecca
Rebecca Fuller thank you, I am actually a religious brother, I knew a little bit of guitar, piano, organ and recorder... i have more fun in music... religious life and music is can not be separated.... i had been singing God's mercy in my life by my prayers and actions....
I hope i could feel free to ask you a question maybe next time... thanks again!, God bless you.
maybe if you want to play lower b, what I do is to raise the music sheet one octave higher so that I can play the lower b in the music sheet, but technically speaking it is not lower b anymore since I raise the notes one octave higher
Nani flute has more parts!?
Flutes come with either a C foot joint or a B foot joint. Most student models have C foot. Is this what you’re asking? Let me know so I can clarify. :)
