This clef is used for the cello, double bass, Bass Guitar, bassoon, contrabassoon, trombone, euphonium and tuba; for the lower part of keyboard instruments like the piano, organ, and harpsichord (of which the upper part is usually written in treble clef); and for the lowest notes of the horn(English, French, etc.); and the baritone and bass voices.

Parts for tuba, Trombone, and string bass are written on bass clef. For the baritone horn, I have seen parts mostly written on bass; sometimes they are written as treble (but they actually play an octave lower than if you were to play it as a piano score. Piano and organ parts cover both treble and bass--normally treble played with the right hand and bass with the left.

What instrument can you play with the bass clef?

You can play any instrument with the bass clef. This is just a convention to write notes of certain height in the bass clef. You can play a piece on an instrument if their diapasons match. Or even it is not so, you can transpose a piece to the diapason for your instrument. Usually, pieces written for bass instruments (for example, electric bass guitar or double bass) are noted on the bass clef.

What register do the treble clef and bass clef lay on an electric bass?

Typically, clef's denote staffed music, not notes on an instrument.... However if you want to be technical about it "middle C" which is the space above the middle line in the treble cleft would be found on the 17th fret of your bass. This is because the bass instrument plays the bass clef, but it is an octave below the bass clef that cellos read, and clefs were designed for orchestral instruments. If you wanted to decide where the clefs lay, a good rule is from the low C on your a-string to it's octave is bass cleff, and anything above the 5th fret on your g-string is treble clef

What is a treble clef and bass clef?

A treble clef and bass clef refer to music. A piano, for instance, is played by two hands....right hand plays notes on what is known as a treble clef, while the left hand plays on what is known as a bass clef. Most girls sing on the treble clef, since it can go very high. (Sopranos & Altos) Most guys sing on the bass clef, since it can go very low. (Tenors & Bass) Different kinds of instruments either play on the treble or bass clef.


What clef does the play in?

The piano uses both the Treble clef (for higher pitches) and the Bass clef (for lower pitches). It plays in the key of C. Sometimes it is misinterpreted that the Treble clef is for the rigth hand and the Bass clef if for the left hand. This isn't true. Both hands can use the Treble clef or Bass clef, or even the right hand can use the Bass clef and the left hand can use the Treble clef.
