Note: I don't play a viola, so there's no conflict of interest here. You're wrong. Violas are in Alto clef, neither bass nor treble. I've never heard of a viola playing bass, but they do occasionally have to transpose to treble, correct?

If you wish, you may make fun of bassoons. They only transpose into treble when they are adapting violin songs for Viola. This happens often, because there are very few composers who use Alto clef.
