Concert Band Essentials: Transposing Instruments
"What note do we hear if we ask a transposing instrument to play a C? That depends on the instrument. In most cases the name of the instrument gives us the answer. For example, when a clarinet in Bb plays a C, we get a Bb; when an Eb alto saxophone plays a C, we get an Eb."
