Several instruments make use of both bass and tenor clefs. The most common ones I can think of presently are the cello and the bassoon. Much of the time, music is written in bass clef, but can change when the passage to be played moves up to a higher register where tenor clef would be appropriate.
What else can I help you with?
Which woodwind instrument sometimes uses the tenor clef?
Tenor clef does of course exist, and can be used by bassoon.
Which woodwind instrument uses alto clef?
None, actually. With transposition, most woodwinds read in treble, while a few read bass. Sometimes bassoons use tenor clef.
Does a cello use tenor C clef?
Cello most commonly uses the bass clef, but it also sometimes requires knowledge of the tenor and treble clefs. So, no. It's best to learn all of the clefs anyway because they aren't difficult and are easy to remember.
When was the tenor clef discontinued?
At no point since the introduction of clefs in diatonic Western music has the tenor clef been discontinued. The tenor clef, which uses the fourth line of the stave (that is, fourth from bottom), to represent Middle C, is frequently used for upper-register woodwind instruments such as the bassoon, euphonium, and trombone. When used to represent pitches from the double bass, the notes produced from the instrument sound an octave lower than printed.
What clef sign does the cello use?

What are some instro ments that uses treble clef?
Some instruments that read in treble clef are the flute, violin, guitar, piano (the top staff), oboe, trumpet, clarinet, and alto saxophone. Really, if the instrument has the potential, they can read in many clefs. The cello, for example, can read in both bass and tenor, given you know how to read both. The french horn can read treble and bass. It depends on the intrument's range.

Instruments don't play in clefs--people do. In the orchestral world, we trombonists are expected to play in Treble, Alto, Tenor, & Bass clefs on a regular basis. Jazz world is mostly Treble & Bass, though occassionally I've seen Tenor there as well.
What staff does the cello use?
The cello uses a staff that consists of the bass clef, which is typically used for lower-pitched instruments. In some cases, the tenor clef may also be employed, especially for higher passages. The bass clef indicates the pitch range appropriate for the cello, allowing for accurate notation of its music.
