Some of these names are from the Table of Native American flute Keys on this web site, and some are from general usage.

This row in the tables above lists some typical terminology for Native American flutes that have a fundamental note in that octave. Typical Native American flute Descriptions From the tables above, that would place it in the IPN Octave of C 4–B 4 … so its fundamental note is an F # 4. So, for example, I roughly measure the sound chamber of the mid-range F # minor Native American flute I happen to have sitting next to me, from the sound hole to the direction holes at the bottom: 15″.

The instrument is resonating in its first register, and not a higher register or octave.

You are considering the note when all holes are closed (the fundamental note), and.

If the flute has direction holes, take their location to be the end of the sound chamber.

You are using a measurement for just the sound chamber of the instrument.

Looking at the sound chamber lengths in the tables above can help identify the octave of the fundamental note for a given flute. This follows from the old nomenclature that the IPN note C 1 was called the “eight foot note” on pipe organs because the length of the pipe to produce that note was about 8′ (see the Dolmetsch Online Music Theory page). The very approximate length for the lowest and highest notes within the octave are shown. This row in the tables above lists very approximate length of a sound chamber that generates the notes within the octave. For example, C‚‚‚ is replaced by CCCC and c’ is replaced by cc. This system is really just another way of writing notes in the Helmholtz Pitch Notation system. Some examples: c′′ c'', c", c”, c′, c″ and c ii.Ĭ’ in Helmholtz Pitch Notation corresponds to C 4 in IPN and to middle C on a piano. Those hash marks may be typeset using a variety of characters, including “i” as small superscipts. To indicate octaves above c–b, Helmholtz Pitch Notation add hash marks above and following the lower-case note letter, such as c’ and c’’. However, those hash marks are usually typeset using commas or the letter “i” as small subscripts, and may appear as C, or C, or C ii. To indicate octaves below C–B, Helmholtz Pitch Notation calls for the use of small “hash marks” below the line, such as C‚ and C‚‚. The range of Helmholtz Pitch notations C–B corresponds to the IPN range C 3–B 3 and Helmholtz c–b corresponds to IPN C 4–B 4 ( ).

Helmholtz Pitch NotationĪ note-octave notation system that uses upper-case and lower-case letters to indicate octaves. It uses a five-line staff and the placement of notes that indicate pitch and duration. This style of musical notation originated from the European classical music tradition and now commonly in use to represent a wide variety of music. This row in the tables above shows the range of notes in Octave Correspondence - Middle C and Above **A 0 is the lowest note on a standard 88-key piano keyboard and is Piano Key #1. For description of the rows in these tables, scroll down below the tables. These tables show how IPN lines up with various other systems for naming the notes. The note an octave below C 0 is written C -1, and the next lower octave is written C -2, etcetera.Ĭ 4 in IPN corresponds to middle C on a piano. These may also be written in various publications as: C(2), F #(3), B b(4), C, F #, B b, or C2, F #3, and B b4. IPN set the standard of using 440 Hertz as the reference frequency for the note A 4.Īre followed by an octave number. IPN is a note-octave notation termed “Scientific Pitch Notation” in the original proposal by the Acoustical Society of America ( ) and now commonly called “International Pitch Notation”. International Pitch Notationįlutopedia uses International Pitch Notation (IPN) when talking about musical notes. This page gives the correspondence between these various systems of notating the octave for a particular note. Some of these systems use the format of note name (such as “C” or “F #” or “B b”) followed by an octave indication, and are generally called note-octave systems. Some of these systems are in current use, and some appear in the historical references cited on Flutopedia. There are many systems in use to indicate the octave for a particular note.
