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.

Transposition for the bass clarinet involves playing music written in a different key than the instrument's sounding pitch. The bass clarinet is a transposing instrument, meaning that when it plays a written C, it sounds as a concert B-flat.
