F Clef

An F clef, commonly called the bass clef, is a symbol used in written music to indicate the pitch range for lower sounds, typically played by bass instruments or the left hand on the piano. The symbol looks like a stylized "F" and is placed on the staff (the five lines used in music notation) to mark the specific line that represents the note F below middle C. This helps musicians read and interpret the music accurately by clearly defining the pitch range for their instruments or voices.
