Best Answer

To play a low D, play all three buttons for your left hand, and all three buttons for your right hand as well. To play an octave higher, push down the octave key (your left thumb) as well as the three buttons on each hand. To play an octave higher than that, play only the first palm key on your left hand, and the octave key.

a low d would be all three of your top (left) fingers and all three of your bottom (right) fingers. a middle d is the same as a low d just add the octave key.

It depends. A lower D is played with all 6 finger keys down, while a D up the octave includes the octave key (located just above the thumbrest).
