Several instruments make use of both bass and tenor clefs. The most common ones I can think of presently are the cello and the bassoon. Much of the time, music is written in bass clef, but can change when the passage to be played moves up to a higher register where tenor clef would be appropriate.

∙ 11y agoInstruments in the orchestra that use the tenor clef include:
Cello
Double Bass (Sounds an octave lower than written pitch)
Bassoon
Other instruments using this clef are:
Contrabassoon
Tenor Tuba
Euphonium
The tenor clef is used for the upper ranges of these instruments and they may not necessarily use this clef all of the time. They would use bass clef more frequently though. Also, the tenor part in vocal music formerly used the tenor clef but the part is written differently now.

Which woodwind instrument sometimes uses the tenor clef?
Tenor clef does of course exist, and can be used by bassoon.
Which woodwind instrument uses alto clef?
None, actually. With transposition, most woodwinds read in treble, while a few read bass. Sometimes bassoons use tenor clef.
Does a cello use tenor C clef?
Cello most commonly uses the bass clef, but it also sometimes requires knowledge of the tenor and treble clefs. So, no. It's best to learn all of the clefs anyway because they aren't difficult and are easy to remember.
When was the tenor clef discontinued?
At no point since the introduction of clefs in diatonic Western music has the tenor clef been discontinued. The tenor clef, which uses the fourth line of the stave (that is, fourth from bottom), to represent Middle C, is frequently used for upper-register woodwind instruments such as the bassoon, euphonium, and trombone. When used to represent pitches from the double bass, the notes produced from the instrument sound an octave lower than printed.

What are some instro ments that uses treble clef?
Some instruments that read in treble clef are the flute, violin, guitar, piano (the top staff), oboe, trumpet, clarinet, and alto saxophone. Really, if the instrument has the potential, they can read in many clefs. The cello, for example, can read in both bass and tenor, given you know how to read both. The french horn can read treble and bass. It depends on the intrument's range.

What clef does a piccolo trombone play in?
Instruments don't play in clefs--people do. In the orchestral world, we trombonists are expected to play in Treble, Alto, Tenor, & Bass clefs on a regular basis. Jazz world is mostly Treble & Bass, though occassionally I've seen Tenor there as well.

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.
What instruments use the alto clef?
Viola uses the alto clef.
