Didn't think I'd weigh in on this discusson, but here goes:

I learned that starting with G above high C (four ledger lines) is called double G. The F immediately below that is just high F. This means that F above double C is double F, but G above double C is triple G.

I guess this would make sense because you would have low G (right above the lowest note on the horn), middle G, high G (on top of the staff, and hey, it was high G when we were young!), double G (G above high C), and so on.

This method somewhat goes along with Double_G and Alex and makes the most sense to me. It seems this is Wayne Bergeron's way of stating this too. In a lesson he killed some double As and double Ds on my horns, and I believe that's how he referred to them. I am with Alex, I certainly don't use most of this stuff.

Back to Wynton??
