<p>ES: instrumento transpositor,
I: ?,
F: ?,
D: ?,
NL: ?,
DK: ?,
S: ?,
FI: ?.
<p>Instruments whose notated pitch is different from their sounded pitch. Except
for those whose notated and sounding pitches differ by one or more octaves (to
reduce the number of ledger lines needed), most such instruments are identified
by the letter name of the pitch class of their fundamental. The pitch class is
the note that <em>sounds</em> (disregarding the octave in which it sounds) when
the instrument plays a notated C.
<p>For example: when played on the B-flat clarinet, the note middle C <em>sounds</em>
the B-flat one tone lower. If played on the A clarinet, the same written
note sounds the A (one and half tones – a minor third – lower).
<p>Not all transposing instruments include the pitch class in their name:
<ul>
<li>English horn (in F)
<li>Alto flute (in G)
</ul>
