Re: How Come It's A Transposing Instrument?

In some respects it is just semantics. If you prefer you can just say that your chalumeau "C" is thumb, first finger and second finger (and all other notes of the horn correspond) it's just that our Bb clarinet music is traditionally written a step up. Then you'd read "C" music no problem. If I am understanding it correctly, British brass players think backwards like this.
