1/7/2024 0 Comments High b flat flute![]() Here’s a better way to look at third-octave flute fingerings: they are the same as the first/second octave fingerings, with a vent opened. If I squint my eyes just right I can sort of see how this almost makes sense fingerings-wise and overtones-wise, but ultimately this system is unnecessarily confusing and also doesn’t reflect acoustical realities. It goes something like this: the flute’s third-octave fingerings are some kind of combination of two different first/second-octave fingerings. There is an incorrect explanation for these fingerings that I hear every so often, and have seen published on a couple of flute-related blogs recently. I recall as a beginning flutist (coming from background in saxophone) finding the third-octave fingerings to be a confusing, illogical jumble, but they do actually make some sense.
