What is the clef used for notes in the higher pitch range?

Treble


What clef do brass instruments use?

Tenor Trombone - Brass Band - Treble Clef (in Bflat) Orchestra - Tenor or Bass Clef (in C) Bass Trombone - Always Bass Clef (in C) Alto Trombone - Alto Clef (in C) A Bass Clef( A F Clef) All trombones are used in different things, so the examples are not specifically correct. Neither are the given clefs. It depends on the trombonist and the piece. For instance, I play in all different keys because my music varies. The keys are sort of correct as well. I will leave them there because it will help to see what I mean. Tenor trombone - Is in (sounds like concert Bflat) trombone Bflat Bass trombone - Is in (sounds like Concert Bflat) trombone Bflat Alto Trombone - Is in (sounds like Concert C) trombone C All the "sounds like" are for when the trombone plays a Bflat. The common misconception about trombone keys is that a trombone in Bflat is in C (or concert pitch) as that is what it sounds like. It is NOT. It is in Bflat.


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.


What does it mean when there is a flat sign beside a bass clef?

If there is a flat sign by the bass or treble clef, it depends on what line or space its on. Whatever note's line or space it's on, that note is played as a flat the whole piece. That is, unless there is a natural sign. Its the same way with sharps. So if a sharp or flat sign is on the f line/space, f would be sharp or flat for the whole piece IN BOTH THE BASS, AND TREBLE CLEF. If you're still confused, just say so and ill help.{If there is any accidental next to a clef it is denoting a Key Signature. For Example, if there is 1 flat it will be placed the line of B and it will indicate the key of F or Dm.}


What clef does the baritone use?

If by the baritone you mean the euphonium in the military and wind bands the part is non-transposing and written in the bass clef. In brass bands it is treated as a transposing instrument (Euphonium in B-flat) the part is written in the treble cleff sounding 1 octave + 1 tone lower than written. If you are refering to the tenor saxhorn or Baritone (B-flat Baritone) as it is called as used in brass bands then it is always a transposing instrument written in the treble clef sounding 1 octave + 1 tone lower than written. Then there is the baritone sax which is written in the treble clef (Baritone Sax in e-flat) which sounds 1 octave+ a sixth lower than written

Has a double bass use bass or treble or other?

I believe you mean to say "Does a double bass read from bass or treble clef?" The answer to that is bassists almost always read bass clef. But very good bassists that play very high read treble clef often and sometimes tenor clef.
