Well, first, a metronome is used to show cadence - that is, how many beats per minute - how fast to play.

For tuning, the standard concert tuning note is the "A" note above middle "C", or 440 cps for a "C" melody Flute. (cycles per second . . . Hertz, or Hz, is used only in electronics and physics applications.)

If it is not a "C" melody flute, then a different note name is used, but is still at 440 cps.

The Hyperbass flute is the largest and lowest pitched instrument in the flute family, with tubing reaching over 8 metres in length. It is pitched in C, four octaves below the concert flute, (three octaves below the bass flute, two octaves below the contrabass flute, and one octave below the double contrabass flute), with its lowest note being Co, one octave below the lowest C on the standard piano. At 16 Hz, this is below what is generally considered the range of human hearing (20 to 20,000 Hz).
