 Re: Why is it called the 'Concert' Bb scale?

Going further into this.....why are there transposing instruments? Just call a spade a spade! If a Bb concert is a written C on a clarinet why not just call it a Bb in the first place? One answer is that it simplifies families of instruments. eg... if you learn to play Eb clarinet and Bb clarinet you don't have to learn two sets of fingerings. One fingering works on C, Eb and Bb clarinet. John
