If I have a part written on the treble staff for an Eb instrument, I can read that part for Eb Tuba by pretending it is Bass staff and add 3 flats to adjust the whole step/half step pattern of the octave.
However, if I have a part written for a Bb trumpet, I'm probably best learning to transpose like a trumpet and (for instance) sound a Bb for a written c.
OK. now I know what to try.
Thanks for the conversation.
