What are the orchestral instruments which read form the tenor clef?

i think cello is one....

Tennor Trombone - brass
Tennor Horn - brass
Clarinet (not sure about this one)
Tennor voice i supose - though i have never sung anything from a tennor cleff, bass and trebble, and the trebble twith the 8 under it yes, but not tennor cleff!
Dunk

I think cello, bassoon, and trombone can get stuff in the tenor clef, though I don't think it's their main clef.

I asked this question because of when they give you something in tenor clef or something and ask you to name an instrument that uses this clef or something like that, i mean i could put viola for alto... its just tenor that i wasnt sure about

Not clarinet or tenor voice (usually treble clef for voice sounding an octave lower or the clef has a small 8 on the tail).
Can't go wrong if you put cello.

Tenor horns DO NOT read from tenor clef! They read treble clef!
As for tenor voices, they read bass clef most of the time though sometimes (usually as part of a SATB piece) they read treble clef although there is a little 8 below the clef symbol to show it sounds an octave lower than written. I suppose a long time ago tenor voices used the tenor clef, and there used to be a soprano clef where G was on the first line of the stave, but not anymore!
Instruments that read tenor clef sometimes (but not exclusively) in a symphony orchestra are cello and trombone, and maybe bassoon. No others as far as I know.

Yes, that is a very usual one, though tenor trombone players need to know alto and bass clef also.

QUOTE

Tennor Horn - brass

One should be careful about asserting that something never happens, but I have never seen a tenor horn part in anything other than treble clef, Eb transposed.

Clarinet (not sure about this one)

Again, I have never seen this. Usual are treble clef transposed parts appropriate to the various sizes of clarinet, which includes Eb and D soprano, C concert, Bb, A, Eb alto, Bb bass, Eb contra-alto and Bb contra-bass.

Yes, that was standard for several centuries, but the octave treble notation took over some time between 1800 and 1930.

I haven't yet seen a mention of double bass, which sometimes gets tenor clef when the range goes high. The notes sound an octave lower, as they do in its more common bass clef.

In earlier times, the clef might be the only indication of the size of instrument on which it would be convenient to play a part. For instance, in viol consort music, a part in tenor clef would usually be played on the tenor viol.

Hmm..... let me refer to my music handbook....

Cello, Bassoon & tenor trombone.
