DOUBLE FLATS<br />
Adding a flat to a note lowers it one semitone.<br />
A double flat lowers a note two semitones which is equal to one whole tone. A double flat<br />
looks like two flats joined together .<br />
If you look at the piano keyboard below you can see that B is one whole tone lower than<br />
the note B and actually sounds the note A.<br />
If you want to cancel a double flat use a flat sign . Some composers use a natural sign followed<br />
by a single flat like this . Double flats are usually only found in keys that already have several<br />
flats.<br />
