Re: Alto Clarinet & Clarinet Nomenclature

Author: Chris_C ★2017

From extensive research (i.e. a quick Google) it seems that in some countries it is called a tenor clarinet and in others (including US and UK) an alto clarinet. I have seen band parts for "Tenor clarinet in Eb". I suppose there is potentially less confusion over transpositions if it is called an alto clarinet because then all the transpositions are the same as for alto sax and it can play alto sax parts (even if they are unsatisfying).
