Double sharp occurs when the location where a sharp or flat is supposed to be is covered by another sharp or flat. Lets say you wanted to play C but somehow B and C# were a part of the key. So on the C space you would be C# on the B line you would put B# and on the A Space you would be A##. Strange example but you get the idea.

Double flats are used to lower a natural note by a full tone.

Abb = G natural

Bbb = A natural

Cbb = B flat, NOT B natural since there is only a half step between B and C

Dbb = C natural

Ebb = D natural

Fbb = E flat, again because E if only a semitone below F

Gbb = F natural

It's because that note is the only one two half-steps away from another flat/sharp note in both directions.

How do you play double sharp?

A double sharp is a way to raise a note one whole step. On the piano, this is done by playing the note two keys above the natural note.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To double sharp a note - all you do is move up from one white key to the next, AS LONG as there is a black key in between the two white keys (e.g. F and G). If you try to double sharp a note with no black key directly to the right, you'll have to skip over that white key and play the black key to the right of the "skipped" white key (e.g. E and F).The same procedure is done when double flatting a natural note.
