Double 'C'

Benji · 06-07-2006, 10:18 AM

Please excuse my ignorance but back in the 'olden' days when I played in dance bands we referred to middle C (on the staff), high C (second line above the staff, and C above high C. I'm not really hep on some of the new terminology. What exactly is meant by a double and triple C? Thanks.

As I understand it your about right...

Middle 'C' is in the stave high 'C' is 2 stave lines above 'F'

Double high 'C' is next up in progression and so on..

I don't worry about anything above the 'D' above high 'C' because that's where my range tops out at!

Thanks.

So a double C is the C above my high C?

Jeez! Never been there. One guy that played with us could get the double but had to walk up the scale to do it.

Yeah that's territory I've yet to get into...

I think Double High 'C' is where Maynard Ferguson's range starts.

Must be nice.

Scream machine is 15 and told me he can play a dubba C!

15!

There's at least one other youngster on this board who can scream a double-C.

As for me, I've only hit it twice in my lifetime, and never in concert. I'm afraid I top out at G.

Actually, most of what I've heard Maynard play is right around the high G. Some of the stuff lingers around A or B, but usually not much more than that.

for me i have two different tops. the public range and the practice room range. my public range is the f above hi c and in the practice room i have played the a above that, but it is not a note for public consumption nor have i played it consistantly i can consistantly get the g but don't consider that a public note.
