For the Clarinets it is the C# major.

to figure it out easily for all concert pitches, just move up the letters a tone. concert G, A major, concert Bb, C major, concert Eb, F major. thats just for Bb instruments though. for Eb instruments i beleive its a fifth lower.

Depending on the instrument Eb instruments are pitched a minor third higher, or a major sixth lower than C. Alto Saxes read everything a sixth *higher* than what it should be, and Eb Clarinets read everything a minor third *lower* than what it should be. Also, for Bb instruments, Concert E major becomes either F# major, or Gb major, not simply F.
