This key gives a complete chromatic range up to a3 for the tenor recorders, and to d3 for the alto.

The modern pitch tenor recorder can be fitted with a double bell key (operated by the left hand little finger)
giving a chromatic range of nearly 3 octaves (from b1 to a3), and extra multiphonic possibilities.
