Mark, Forgive me

Are you playing on Bass clef it that correct? that'sall I can ask you,

cos I think I play on bass clef because i can't go back on treble clef it is too late for me....any idea should I go back on trebl clef to start learn on treble clef or have to stay on bass clef let you know I'm deaf I use love music and i got horn with me to play on bass clef. Any idea would apperciate it, and well done on the jazz and ur horn is interesting, Mark

Cheers,

thank, Martyn

Martyn,

Mostly I play in treble clef, but I do read bass clef. Given the transposition for Horn, it seems to work best to write mostly in treble clef. However, I am often asked to read trombone parts and those I have to transpose from bass clef (concert pitch). All it takes is practice, I think...

@mtaylorjazz : thank for information cheerio. Good luck on Horn Jazz, one more thing your mouthpiece when u play it is big size than size 7 or 12, i know ur mouthpiece is comfortable as i tho sound nice jazz..

Thank you, Mark and Enjoyin!

@FirstBus27: The mouthpiece I'm playing on this concert is a custom one by Greg Black that I had made years ago. I think the bore was about a 12 and the inner diameter was probably about 17.50mm...
