Pitch Range
Plays D4 to E7, fully chromatic
- F Major basic scale of 23 notes (3 1/8 octaves)
- 39 total notes when counting all sharps and flats
This extended range F triple differs from our normal F triple in having two additional toneholes on the underside, both covered by the right thumb. Thus, the four highest notes (C#7, D7, E7, and E7) are played by uncovering these two bottom toneholes. Serious and experienced players will find the extra range rewarding.
