Hello, I just got my computer functioning after a hard drive crash, so couldn't respond sooner (didn't even see the messages until a half hour ago). It is not uncommon for me to play in 8 or 9 sharps or flats. When I play tuba I usually use an E-flat tuba. I read it in treble clef, add 3

I do the same thing with my students. It is handy for them to be comfortable with the concept that Bb major and B major have a seven accidental difference. Demonstrating with D# major and such simply reinforces the concept. But this is certainly different from learning to play scales. Jeremy

Is this perhaps why much modern 20th century music and etudes with many double sharps and double flats (anything Hindemith, some of the Maxim-Alphonse book 6 etudes) encounter much sight-reading trouble with most students of music? Of course apart from extremely tough intervals and rhythms

I just did some written work and figured out that indeed there would be theoretical 'double flat' key signatures for d flat, g flat and c flat: The c # minor scale: C# D# E F# G# A B C# Which translates to this in d flat minor: Db Eb Fb Gb Ab Bbb Cb Db So you would get a 7 flat key

Indeed. However, it might actually be quite satirical to try to write something with 7 sharps and 5 double sharps... *spolier* Its just the key of C... *end of spoiler* However I wonder how many minutes it would take most musicians to see the humor in that and not be thoroughly angry
