In this edition of #TheDailyDoug, I'm answering (in short) another perennial music theory question: Why do we have so many transposing instruments? I also include in the conversation the usage of different musical clefs. This is just an introductory discussion. If you have more questions or want further clarification, please leave a comment or drop me a line!
