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.

1. The bass clef - it's also called the F Clef because the second to top line on the stave is an F 2. The Tenor clef - one variation of the C clef. The second to top line is a Middle C. The tenor clef is between the bass clef and the alto clef, which is what a viola plays
