∙ 11y agoThe types/kinds of clefs are:
- G-clef/ Treble clef- The line on the staff representing the note G is encircled by the curl of clef
- c-clef-that passes through the center of the clef
- F-clef/ Bass clef- The line on the staff representing F is between the two dots of the clef
Once one of these clefs has been placed on the the staff, the lines and spaces can be read in relation to it.
A clef is a musical symbol used to indicate the pitch of written notes. Placed on one of the lines at the beginning of the staff it indicates the name and pitch of the notes on that lines.....

A flute uses what clef treble or base?
Treble clef, and bass clef, are just clefs, all notes can be played by writing with both of these clefs. If you mean, can the bass clef play below middle C, then yes, but just below at its Bb. The question itself is vague.
Why are Bb and Eb instruments written in C?
What you see on the score is not necessarily what you hear. If you look at a full orchestral score you will often see different key signatures for instruments playing at the same time, or a variety of clefs other than the standard G and F clefs. This is so that very different instruments can play without having to read too many leger lines and can play using reasonable fingerings and positions.

Could you define g clef in musical terms?
The G clef is one of many clefs used in music, and the different clefs represent different ranges of notes. Different clefs accommodate different instruments, depending on their ranges. The G clef is one of the better known clefs; it is a mid-range clef and along with the F clef it is standard for almost all piano music. You will note that the fancy "G" that is the symbol for the clef forms an 'x' over the fourth line down in the clef, the line that represents the note 'g'. This is the g one fifth above 'middle c' on the piano, and it is a whole step below the 'a' that has a frequency of 880 cps. The 'a' below middle c on the piano is tuned at 440 cps, the current standard pitch for most musical purposes. Clefs do not always represent absolute frequencies for every application. I believe that sopranos and altos, while they use the G clef, in reality produce tones that are an octave above the standard suggested pitches. The use of clefs is a matter of convention and convenience.
