I made a post yesterday in the Musescore subreddit asking if "F horn" means "French horn" or "horn in F" and luckily I vaguely remembered this concept from 20+ years ago when I was in marching band:
If I'm correct, concert Bb is Bb for tubas and Bb for flutes but is "G" for Saxophone and is "C" for trumpets? (my memory is horrible so please forgive me if I'm wrong)
Furtheremore, this wikipedia explanation is **BEYOND CONFUSING!: https://imgur.com/a/IV80EoL* ðŸ˜
A written C, top, on a B♭ clarinet sounds a concert B♭, bottom.
I didn't know "sound" was a verb and I thought it should have read "sounds like". Here is my main question to make sure I understand everything correctly.
A "horn in C" will always play concert pitch, right? As will a "flute in C", correct?
I don't understand the purpose of keeping two note-naming systems in place if "Concert Pitch" is clearly superior in every conceivable way. 🤦♂️
