(And of course current practice is to omit the key of the instrument anyway, at least in the band world: We know that Alto Sax is in Eb, Trumpet is in Bb, and Tuba is in Bb, so the pitch is not needed to identify them.)
Question: why do we say that the Tuba is in Bb, when it's actually in C. I mean, I know that the fundamental of the tuba's tube is Bb, but it's a C instrument, just like bassoon or cello, isn't it? (and unlike the other instruments you mentioned, which transpose)
