What to do with a backwards treble clef tattoo?
make it into a black slodge
What does the flute play treble clef or bass clef?
Bass, but sometimes tenor when playing higher music. You'll sometimes come across treble clef in French and Belgian publications. It is used to avoid extra leger lines above the tenor clef.
On a Baritone are bass clef notes lower than the treble clef?
yes. think of it as trumpet plays treble cleff. (high pitch instruments and sounds) trombone plays bass cleff (lower notes and sounds) The difference between the cleffs is 3 half steps (I believe) Typically bass cleff notes are lower but not always. It depends if the two are the same part. If you are asking about the treble clef baritone vs. bass clef baritone issue in bands, there's a catch: treble clef baritone players read notes written in the treble clef but the sound they make is actually a major 9th (octave + 1 whole step) lower. (E.g. if a treble-clef baritone player sees a middle C on the treble clef, the note that is actually played is a B-flat on the 2nd line from the bottom of the bass clef.) So actually, a bass-clef baritone part and a treble-clef baritone part from the same piece of music are probably identical in sound. They're just written differently. The reason: trumpet players, who usually play in a B-flat transposition (sounds a step lower, their written C comes out B-flat), can switch over to baritone more easily if they continue to read the same clef and finger the notes the same way. (Same thing is true of the saxophones, who all read basically the same range of the treble clef, finger more or less the same, but come out with sounds in very different registers.) It's pretty common, at least in U.S. schools, for baritone players to have started out as trumpet players, and this practice facilitates the switch. Most of the low brass world, though, uses untransposed bass clef--what you see is what you hear. Baritone players are well advised to learn bass clef as soon as possible. Still, they need to understand how the transposed treble-clef parts work--it's part of the environment.
How do you convert bass clef to tenor clef?
Everything goes down a line; so the B which normally has the midlle line cutting through it would have the one from bottom line going through it. This is very simple but takes a while to get used to. And of couse everything on the treble clef is octaves higher
What is a treble saxophone?
There is no such thing as a treble saxophone. From high to low, it goes like this: sopranino, soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, bass, contra-bass. Saxophones also have different pitches within those groupings. For example, the alto is usually in E flat. There is also the F, and C. However, I believe all saxes below the baritone are played in the bass clef, which would make all higher saxophones until the alto treble instrument, smeaning they play in the treble clef. I am not sure about soprano and sopranino.
