Pitch Range
Plays E4 to G7, fully chromatic
- G Major basic scale of 23 notes (3 1/8 octaves)
- 39 total notes when counting all sharps and flats
At just over three full octaves, the range on this triple will play virtually any melody. This extended range G triple differs from our normal G triple in having two additional toneholes on the underside, both covered by the right thumb. Thus, the five highest notes (E7, E7, F7, and F#7) are played by uncovering these two bottom toneholes. Serious and experienced players will find the extra range rewarding.
