Hi people.... Here in N.Z. they have picked a bass clef solo for trble clef readers and have said that we have to transpose it ourselves.....Sooooo....does anyone out there have a transcribed copy please... I own a bass cleff copy I play on the EEb but haven't quite got to reading bass clef on the BBb so any help would be appreciated.ThanksGavin

I am not following you. I also play EEb Tuba. All Tuba's are not Transposing. What you see in the Bass Clef and finger corectly for your instrument you hear. However if the music is written in the Treble Clef it is transposing, like a Bb Trumpet (but an octive lower). If this is the case just have a trumpet player insert the fingering and you are good to go. If not attach a copy to my personal e-mail and I will see how I can best help you.

Sorry Rob.... The solo picked is in bass clef.... brass band players in NZ are mostly treble clef readers..... I too can sight transpose Bass clef when playing EEb Bass BUT this year the band requires me to play BBb bass, on which I haven't really got a clue on what the bass cleff is..... I did once play bass clef on trombone but I thinks thats an octave up.... my biggest problem is time to learn the bass clef or transpose in to the correct range for BBb bass.... so I thought I would make things easier on myself and see if someone else had already done it...hence the post.Comment
