F clef

The treble clef, or G clef, is used for the higher sounding notes, usually played with the right hand. The bass clef, or F clef, is used for the lower sounding notes, usually played with the left hand.

The bass clef is also known as the F clef, precisely for the reason that it helps mark the F note on the staff. Because of this, it can help to visualize the bass clef as the letter F - the vertical line in the letter is curved and the 2 horizontal strokes become the dots (which mark the location of the F).

The bass clef is also known as the F-clef, because the note F below middle C passes between the two dots of the bass clef shape (this clef was originally the letter F). The clefs assign a specific reference note to the line on which they are placed.

The bass clef, an F-clef, is used by cello, double bass, bass guitar, bassoon, contrabassoon, bass recorder, trombone, tuba, timpani and some other players.

Next, let's discuss the Bass Clef (also called the F Clef). The staff line in between the two dots of the clef is F. The stave line in between the two dots of the clef is F.

It's the stalwart guardian of the lower spectrum of notes, the emblem for those profound, resonant tones that provide music with its full-bodied sound. Also known as the F clef, it marks the position of the F note, sitting on the fourth line from the bottom of the staff, indicating the F note just below middle C.
