What clef do brass instruments use?
Tenor Trombone - Brass Band - Treble Clef (in Bflat) Orchestra - Tenor or Bass Clef (in C) Bass Trombone - Always Bass Clef (in C) Alto Trombone - Alto Clef (in C) A Bass Clef( A F Clef) All trombones are used in different things, so the examples are not specifically correct. Neither are the given clefs. It depends on the trombonist and the piece. For instance, I play in all different keys because my music varies. The keys are sort of correct as well. I will leave them there because it will help to see what I mean. Tenor trombone - Is in (sounds like concert Bflat) trombone Bflat Bass trombone - Is in (sounds like Concert Bflat) trombone Bflat Alto Trombone - Is in (sounds like Concert C) trombone C All the "sounds like" are for when the trombone plays a Bflat. The common misconception about trombone keys is that a trombone in Bflat is in C (or concert pitch) as that is what it sounds like. It is NOT. It is in Bflat.

Does a valve trombone use bass cleft or treble cleft music?
The word is CLEF. Trombone music is typically written in bass clef. However, music can be found written in tenor and alto clef. Occassionally, treble clef is used.In many older, classical pieces there were three parts written: alto, tenor, and bass. The alto trombone played in alto clef, tenor in tenor clef, and bass in bass clef. Most modern music is written in bass clef.
Why does b flat trombone not transpose on reading bass clef?
The Trombone does NOT transpose, the player does. With that said, if the music is written in Bb Bass Clef, one does transpose in Bass clef. Most Bass Clef music is in C Bass clef, but the player has learned how to read in concert pitch, so there is no transposition needed.
