F major is the home key of the English horn, the basset horn, the horn in F, the trumpet in F and the bass Wagner tuba. Thus, music in F major for these transposing instruments is written in C major. These instruments sound a perfect fifth lower than written, with the exception of the trumpet in F which sounds a fourth higher.
This is a list of musical instruments, including percussion, wind, stringed, and electronic instruments. Percussion instruments (idiophones, membranophones, struck chordophones, blown percussion instruments)
The mezzo-soprano is the only saxophone pitched in F that has ever been built, apart from prototypes of an F baritone. Although Maurice Ravel's 1928 orchestral work Boléro calls for a sopranino saxophone in F, it is unlikely the instrument ever existed; the part is usually performed on an E♭ sopranino or B♭ soprano.
The F mellophone has tubing half the length of a French horn, which gives it an overtone series more similar to a trumpet and most other brass instruments. The mellophone is an instrument designed specifically to bring the approximate sound of a horn in a package which is conducive to playing while marching.
This means that consorts could be composed of instruments nominally in B ♭, F, C, G, D, A and even E, although typically only three or four distinct sizes were used simultaneously. To use modern terminology, these recorders were treated as transposing instruments: consorts would be read identically to a consort made up of F 3, C 4, and G 4 ...
In most of Europe, the F tuba is the standard orchestral instrument, supplemented by the CC or BB ♭ only when the extra weight is desired. Wagner, for example, specifically notates the low tuba parts for Kontrabasstuba, which are played on CC or BB ♭ tubas in most regions. In the United Kingdom, the E ♭ is the standard orchestral tuba.
