What key is concert pitch?
Concert pitch may vary from ensemble to ensemble, and has varied widely over music history. The most common modern tuning standard uses 440 Hz for A above middle C as a reference note, with other notes being set relative to it. In the literature this is also called international standard pitch.
Is the key of C concert pitch?
Not only do the piano's 88 keys contain virtually all the notes you'll ever need to create a solid foundation for a full orchestral composition, but the entire piano is tuned to concert pitch. Concert pitch simply means that when you hit a C on the piano, you are actually playing a C.
What is concert BB for concert pitch instruments?
The piccolo sounds one octave higher than its written pitch. But, if you want to hear a C, and you don't care what octave it's in, then the double bass and piccolo play their C. Trumpet, tenor sax, and clarinet are Bb instruments. This means when they play their written C, it sounds like a Bb in concert pitch.
