Posted by Josh C. Now to check up on the triple flat. A good way to check this kind of chord in this kind of situation is to re-harmonize it in an easier key. For example, put it in the key of B natural. Since Cb and B are enharmonics, this is a great way to check. The chords work out like this Bbbb = Ab So since the enharmonics must spell out correctly. In order for a note with the named pitch of B to be harmonically equivalent to an Ab, It must be Bbbb. So yes, the Bbbb is correct!! Good job and I hope this helps!! -Josh C.

You are definitely right about the C fully diminished chord being composed of C, Eb, Gb, and Bbb. You just need to be sure when dealing with seventh chords which are diminished that you don't forget to include whether it is fully or half diminished. Fully diminished seventh chords are a diminished triad with a diminished seventh from the root, while a half diminished is a diminished triad with a minor seventh from the root.
Gbb = F
Ebb = D
Cb = B
