A Concert Bb is a C on clarinet (1 Whole Step) A concert Bb on Alto Sax is a G. To sum it up, move everything up a 6th. I think I'm right, can't remember.

Up a major 6th or down a minor 3rd.

Hi........ I'm making this up as I go, from distant memories- before computers.
Tippex out the bottom line........ add a line at the top........ add three sharps or take away three flats.......... take the tablets and lie down in a darkened room.
A concert C will become an Alto sax A, and the three sharps takes care of the key change........................ Don't send the medical bill to me...... H&P
