Jamterry, Another name for Treble Clef is G Clef, so named because the treble clef sign curls around the second line, which denotes a G, or because the treble clef sign was orignally a stylized G. Bass clef is also known as F Clef, as the dot on the bass cleff sign is on the fourth line, which denotes an F (It also was once an actual F). There is also a C Clef, which is often used for Tenor Clef (when centered on the fourth line) or Alto Clef (centered on the middle line). Usually this clef is used in orchestra for stringed instruments. The center of the sign is always Middle C (what saxophone players might call low C, on the first line below the staff).

Sax Mom, i'm sorry!!!! I was thinking of the alto clef which you mentioned. I loved what you said about eating in a restaurant. :) Take care, Terry
