Re: Clef Trans. For "Bass" Cl

Well said Larry B, nor have I ever seen "tenor clef" used, however most of my playing is of "contemporary" music. Doesn't most of this earlier clef confusion result from the [fundemental] MIS-NOMER of "bass", where it is truly a "tenor" clarinet ? Most of the other cls are named in accord with the "vocal" S A T B, and its subdivisions. The newer composers often write for the Low C [extended] inst. I play my Eb, and have run into some low D's, and write in "D" so as to not play my F. Ho-hum !! Don

Thanx, Mark, Don
