Best Answer

Generally, strings prefer sharps (or so I would think).

I think this is because when you start, you learn sharp notes first (like F# on the D-string). Another reason is because if you want to play a Db (D-flat) that is just below your D-string, you would have to switch strings because you can't lower the pitch of your string. However, if you play a D-sharp, you can simply place your finger on the D-string and you get a D-sharp.

How do you play a tc baritone scale sheet?

You play it as written in concert pitch. For example, the C scale will show 2 sharps, but you play it as a C scale, no flats/no sharps. You have to transpose the notes down a step, so you will actually be playing a C and reading a D. It would be easier to learn to read bass clef!
