If you go to a piano and count down 2 semitones you land on a C. D double flat is a C just with another name. Double flat means you flatten (lower) the note by 2 two semitones.

What is the same note as a sharp?
b flat
By how much does a sharp or flat alter as a note?
No. On a certain note with both a sharp and flat, (G, for example) they are the same distance from G, but going in diferent directions. G sharp raises the note by one half step while G flat lowers the note by one half step. However, it is possible for a sharp note to mean the same note as a flat note. For example, G sharp is the same note as A flat. This is called being enharmonic.
How do you finger A sharp on a trumpet?
On a b-flat trumpet, A sharp is played with the first valve, same same as B flat.
What is another name for B flat?
F sharp is the same note.
How can you tell if your pitch is sharp or flat?
Compare it to someone else playing the same note.
What does it mean when a sharp and a flat are in front of the same note?
Offhand, I would say that is a misprint. However, a natural and flat means to return to a normal flat note after a double-flat. For example, suppose you are in a key with B-flat in the key signature, but you have an E-flat diminished chord, which includes B-double-flat. After that you have a regular B-flat. The natural cancels the double-flat, and the single flat returns to the usual note. After a double-sharp, a natural and sharp would do the same thing.
Can an A flat be called a double sharp or flat or not?

What is the function of sharp and flats?
Sharps are the note one semitone higher than a given natural note, for example, D-sharp is one semitone higherthan D.Flats are the note one semitone lower than a given natural note, so D-flat is one semitone lower than D.Natural signs get rid of a previous sharp or flat in the same bar, or raises or lowers a sharp or flat already included in the key signature - e.g. the F-sharp in G major.Sharps and flats can be modified further too - resulting in a double sharp or double flat - which means that any double sharp or double flat will be a whole tone higher or lower than a given natural note, for example, D double-sharp would be the same key as E and D double-flat would be the same as C. Again a natural sign would get rid of the double flat or sharp.Sometimes natural keys have to be named as either sharp or flat, e.g. in C-sharp minor the seventh degree is B, but we have to raise B to B-sharp to create a C-sharp harmonic minor scale, which uses a raised seventh. Now we could call the B-sharp 'C' but that would not be correct as we need to use all letter names in a diatonic scale, and technically the C is functioning as a raised B in the key or C-sharp minor.

Is A sharp the same key as A flat?
No. An A flat is the same as a G sharp and an A sharp is the same as a B flat. A flat and A sharps are two different notes, although they are the same distance from A.
G flat is the same as what note?
There are many forms of G sharp chords, each containing different notes. In modern "chord symbols", "G#" means "G# major". It contains the notes G#, B# and D#. Note: In modern tuning, B# is enharmonically equivalent to C (the same piano key is used). The G# minor chord contains the notes G#, B and D#.
Is f the same as b flat?
No, F is the same as E sharp. B flat is the same as A sharp.
