Yes, the piano is a C instrument. The reason behind this is that when a personal plays a C on the piano a C is heard. As an example, the Trumpet is a B-flat instrument - because when a trumpet plays a C it sounds as a B-flat so it's music is written in a different key in order to play with a C instrument, such as a piano, Flute or violin. It gets a bit confusing, but that is the basic explanation behind the terminology.

Is the piano a transposing instrument?

No piano is a concert pitch instrument. Strictly speaking a transposing instrument is any instrument that the base note is not C in English and Do in Italian. As a piano is a stringed instrument, it does not have a base note as such, and when one presses what he or she supposes as C, the note heard is C.

What is the first note of the C scale for a Bb instrument On the circle of fifths?

the scale of c is the same for every instrument you can think of. But if you have what is called a transposed instrument (say in Bb or Eb (alto sax) or F (french horn) the c you play will sound different from the c on your piano. you will see that it matches the Bb on the piano so if you want to play in c concert (like the piano) you have to play the scale of d major.

How do you play a B sharp on a clarinet?

The piano is a "C" instrument, meaning when it plays a C you hear a C. The clarinet is a "B-flat" instrument which means when a clarinet plays a "C" is sounds a "B-flat." I know this sounds confusing and the easiest thing you can do is play, rewrite the clarinet notes a whole step higher than the piano part.

Is flute chords and piano chords the same?

no Actually, it depends on what you mean. A flute is a single note instrument, so a single flute cannot play a chord. However, the notes are the same, because a standard flute is a concert pitched instrument, so a C on the piano is a C on the flute, therefore, a C chord on the piano is a C chord on the flute. the difference is, it takes 3 flutes to play a tried, but a single piano can play a triad.
