The answer by Jkat_Knight is really good, and I totally agree with it. Just want to add a couple things. On a regular concert C flute, the lowest note is middle C. On an open-holed flute, the lowest note is the B flat directly below middle C. Apparently extremely experienced can get to C8, which is 4 octaves above middle C ( I can get to C7 - 3 octaves above middle C), but I have never in my life have heard anybody do that, and I find it kind of hard to believe. Most music (at least that I have played) doesn't even go past B flat 7. Hope this helps!

Thank you. You have been most helpful. If I were to compose a song for a flute I would expect to know its range.
