| | Lesson 24: Other Clefs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | The treble clef is also called the G-clef, because it originated hundreds of years ago as a stylized letter 'G'. |
 | | The alto clef is used by violas in an orchestra. |
 | | With the neutral clef, no pitches are indicated, because this clef is used by instruments that produce no specific pitch: snare drum, bass drum, tom toms, etc. The staff also looks a little unusual: it is obviously a staff for two different percussion instruments, one with a high sound, the other with a low sound. |
