just a quick thought (or two) from a fairly active trumpet player - I
find the tonal differences between C and Bb to be negligible in most
situations - so unless the composer/conductor insists on a specific
horn for reasons of timbre, I play whatever horn makes the most sense

I suppose "serious" is a risky word to use in describing professional
musicians. I was using "serious" as you use "classical." Insert
"classical" into that first paragraph below to get my meaning. And, yes, I
tend to think in orchestral terms first. When the good folks here started

The old British Brass Band system actually illustrates the practicality of
transposing instruments. Forgetting trombones for a moment, just think
about it: everyone in the room, from Eb soprano cornet down to Bb Bass
[tuba] has the same notation and fingering for every note. Players can, and

Er, no. That's how this whole thread started, actually. It's becoming
more common -- and is quite acceptable --
Not who, but what - migraines. I've been fighting them since last May. I'd
had a good week, too but last night, at a restaurant, right before a very

flashed a camera, directly at my most light-sensitive left eye. It's still

No, we mean tenor clef for horns, NOT treble clef 8ba. 8ba treble clef is
not used in in instrumental scores, (nor should it be). And viola stays in
alto clef in a C score, and tenor clefs can be used freely, too.

If you are writing for professional, serious players, C trumpet is the
standard instument. One could still write for Bb trumpet, and many do, but
players will normally play the part on C trumpet unless there is a good
musical reason in the part to do otherwise. Smaller trumpets
Conventions are often very strong, just as custom has more influence
on everyday life than law. Take, for instance, the British style brass
band.
ALL of the parts in a brass band score are notated in treble clef, in
