What is the difference between a B flat Concert scale and a Concert B scale for a flute?

As a flute is a non-transposing instrument, you don't need to
worry too much about 'concert pitch'.
If you think of the piano being the decider of pitch. If you
play a Bb on a non-transposing instrument, it will sound the same
as a piano Bb, however on a transposing instrument, for example a
clarinet, it would sound like a piano's Ab.
If someone says 'play a Bb concert scale' it means play a Bb
scale at 'concert pitch' (i.e. the pitch of a piano). This would
mean a clarinet would play a C scale and it would sound like a
concert Bb scale because it is a transposing instrument.
For a flute, a 'Bb concert scale' would just be a Bb scale (i.e.
Bb, C, D, Eb, F, G, A)
A 'B concert scale' would just be a B scale (i.e. B, C#, D#, E,
F#, G#, A#)

Asked in Woodwind Instruments, Clarinet
What are the clarinet concert pitches?

The general "tuning" note for band is a concert B flat. For a B
flat clarinet, this concert pitch is C. For example, when a
conductor states "Play a concert B flat," a clarinetist would play
the note C. Also, since the clarinet is a B flat instrument, in
most cases, any note will be notated a whole step higher than
concert pitch.
