A diminished chord will always be flat fifths... well, notewise.... F Dim = F Ab B (but since you can't name the chord that way, it would be Cb ... DOH!!) really. that's one of the RARE cases where you would use Cb but remember it's just the B note.
F Dim = F Ab Cb the 12 notes are: A A#/Bb B (Cb) C C#/Db D D#/Eb E F F#/Gb G G#/Ab so just do the formula Diminished chord = 1 b3 b5 weird stuff eh?!?!?! don't EVEN get me started on the double flats.... pv ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hugh G.
