Every recorder player knows it. It was also the clef normally used for
the pardessus de viole, a tiny French gamba designed to play the violin
repertoire. The reason this clef was used for it was so a player of the
regular bass gamba could pick up a pardessus, read its part in the bass
clef, and the notes would come out correctly.
For more on the pardessus de viole, see my book, pp. 463-465.
