By replacing it with a B footjoint B3 becomes playable as well. The C footjoint is standard with this notes from Eb4 to C4 can be played. The footjoint, a short cylindrical piece of tubing at the lower end of the flute, contains the tone holes for the lowest notes. Pulling apart the headjoint and body has the effect of a tuning slide: the overall tuning of the instrument can be lowered by about an eighth tone. The cylindrical body contains most of the tone holes and the keywork. The upper end of the headjoint is closed by the stopper, which is movable and enables slight adjustments to intonation. This slight elevation facilitates attack, which makes it especially popular with beginners. If the embouchure is set on a little plateau it is known as a reform embouchure. The lip plate and embouchure are set in the conical headjoint.
The concert flute is an edge-tone instrument and consists of three pieces of tubing: the headjoint, middle joint (body) and footjoint.
