Clarino is an unknown quantity at this point
Why not use Bb or C trumpet throughout?


When transposing for trumpet in E using Bb trumpet I don't think of a tritone I do it the same as trumpet in Eb but placing the key sig in F# transferring accidentals as needed. (assuming the written part is in C maj ie no Key Sig)


BtW, why would you use a C trumpet to play a Bb part if you had a Bb trumpet on stage to play the Eb part?
