Hi, it depends on your flute.
A standard flute can go down to C, the first C below the stave, but on a flute
with a B foot it can go to the B below that. You can see the fingerings for both
these notes at http://mypage.uniserve.ca/~lwk/fingchrt.htm These notes do take
time to get and remember to leave your embochure loose and you'll need a slower
airstream. Hope this helps you [8)]
Tara!

Other than the classic low
"B" a flute can play, I have come across a flute that can go down to a low "Bb",
but ive only seen that one. I couldn't catch the band name though
