So a B-flat below middle C on the piano (just below the first ledger below the treble clef staff) is written as a 3rd-space C in treble clef. It is transposed so that the open note is a C, but in this case it is also moved by an octave to avoid too many ledger lines. The only difference is the way the music is printed, not in the horn itself. The other way of writing euphonium music is in transposed treble clef. But the player will produce a concert B-flat when playing an open note. Euphonium music can be written in bass clef, and in that case it will sound in concert pitch in the correct octave. ![]() ![]() The trombone is made in B-flat but players are taught to read the music so they will be playing concert pitch.Ī euphonium is in the same key as a trombone and in the same octave. So when a trombonist plays a written B-flat, it will come out as a B-flat in the correct octave. However, for trombone the music remains in concert pitch and is usually in bass clef. A true B-flat is written as a C, and the key is changed accordingly, adding 2 sharps or subtracting 2 flats.Ī trombone's fundamental is also a B-flat. In other words, the music is transposed up one full step. Trumpet music is transposed so that the open fundamental is written as a C. ![]() The same is true of trumpet, for example. The lowest natural note that can be played with no valves is a B-flat. The instrument itself it built in the key of B-flat. It is confusing to many people that euphonium (or "baritone") music is written both in B-flat and in C.
