Well, honey, a standard Flute can play down to a low C, which is the C below middle C on the piano. So, if you're looking to hit those super low notes, you might want to pick up a bass flute or a contrabass flute instead. Happy tooting!

The lowest note a standard flute can play is typically the C4 note, which is also known as middle C. This is the note located two ledger lines below the treble clef staff. Flutes are transposing instruments, meaning that their written music sounds a different pitch than what is written. So, while the written note may be a C4, the actual pitch produced is a concert C4.

The lowest a C flute with a C foot joint can play is a C4 in the flute's first register. This note appears on the first ledger line below the staff.

Flutes with a B foot joint can play down to a B3/Cb4, which is half step lower than the flute with the C foot joint can play.

C8. Most music written for flute only goes up to C7, though, so even advanced players might not be able to play above, say, a D7.

Depends on the foot joint you have. If you have the longer foot joint, it's a B. But if you have a beginning (student) model flute, it is a C (below the staff, also known as C4).

Is flute chords and piano chords the same?

no Actually, it depends on what you mean. A flute is a single note instrument, so a single flute cannot play a chord. However, the notes are the same, because a standard flute is a concert pitched instrument, so a C on the piano is a C on the flute, therefore, a C chord on the piano is a C chord on the flute. the difference is, it takes 3 flutes to play a tried, but a single piano can play a triad.

What should the hz be on a metranome to tune a flute?

Well, first, a metronome is used to show cadence - that is, how many beats per minute - how fast to play. For tuning, the standard concert tuning note is the "A" note above middle "C", or 440 cps for a "C" melody flute. (cycles per second . . . Hertz, or Hz, is used only in electronics and physics applications.) If it is not a "C" melody flute, then a different note name is used, but is still at 440 cps.
