Usable pitch: sounding A₄ c|452|Hz.; Performance characteristics: based on a scale of D (six-finger tonic); lowest six-finger note sounds D₅; plays better as a piccolo than as a flageolet; as the joint does not close fully between tuning section and body, the usable pitch given above is very approximate; speaks with difficulty below F♯₄ (sounding F♯₅) in present condition.
