Actually they are nornmally tuned to Bb and play so.. Nope don't transpose as in an orchestra. If the note on tegh page says play Bb they play Bb based on their learned slide positions. Mind you with the extra tubing and the rotary keys on the left hand thumb they also play around a bit with other tuning options but they still get wriietn as though in Bb ;-)
Just like almost all the brass instruments in the band. Exceptiosn are: Horns are normally Eb and Soprano cornet is also nornally Eb.. also there are basically 4 basses. Eb, DoubleEb Bb and DoubleBb Then there are also teh bass trombs. and they vary nowadays.. In teh odl days it was a G trom but nowadays with they vary more.
