Re: C3...C4...C5 - numbering system?

Philip: Thanks for the link! It provided not only a name for the system (even if the name is a bit ambiguous)...it also provided an approximate date.

Thanks to everyone else too: I've really enjoyed reading through everyone's contributions.

My problem with "Scientific Pitch Notation" is that it isn't applied (in my view) very scientifically due to transposing instruments. Meaning: If I am in front of a class full of clarinetists - and say, "Play C4" - it will sound entirely different than the tone produced if I were standing in front of a group of trombones, Alto Saxophones, or Pianos, and asked everyone to play, "C4".

I agree that it creates a sort of shorthand when speaking amongst common tonality instruments (like on this board), and I'll try my best to assimilate for that reason.

Thanks again to everyone for the information - I'll look forward to any other postings provided in response too, but I feel my original questions have been answered.

Warmest Regards,
Fuzzy
