B-flats
Semitone below B
B-flats are musical notes one half-step below B natural, notated with the flat symbol (♭).
In standard tuning, B-flat is a common key for brass instruments—many trumpets, clarinets, and saxophones are pitched in B-flat, meaning their written C sounds as B-flat: The band warmed up in B-flat.
