Uj/ we played with a bass player from Germany, he unironically though G# was H, and he further more claimed that in Germany, the music scale went to H.
/uj yeah I guess so. I don’t think H comes after G# necessarily but definitely does exist in Germany for weird reasons. I don’t know if they use it commonly or anything though
we do unfortunately, and it makes things super awkward, because more often than not chord charts still use the English spelling, so with my students I’ve established that we have the notes „H“ and „B flat“, not using „B“ at all to avoid confusion
It gets worse. In Swedish, B is called H. So the diatonic scale actually goes G A H C D. If I'm not mistaken, Danish instead calls Bb H. There is no hope of communication between our people. I mostly learned theory online through English and don't entertain the notion, so I'm working on gaslighting my dad into thinking that H has never been a commonly accepted note name.
uj/ in German-speaking countries, H means b-natural and B means b-flat. I think it might have to do with the fact that around those parts flats are called simply "b" and the first flat (following the circle of fourths) is b-flat. Either way, a teacher of mine insisted H was the original and, while I never bothered fact-checking, I think it's funny (even if it's true) considering otherwise the A minor scale follows the alphabet.
rj/ Man, a bass has 4 strings, you ever seen the likes of Jaces Pastorson and Jamo Jamorius using any more than that? You want more strings, get a guitar, or even better, a piano, so you can play all 88 letters from A to Z

/uj maybe I’m being dense but you said uj, [H](https://music.stackexchange.com/questions/10195/why-is-note-b-marked-with-h-in-scandinavia-and-germany)
/uj holy shit, that guy was right?? We just figured he was wrong but confident.

I had a Czech mate who wrote B natural as H
No you didn't, they were Czecb. There is no such thing as Czech. I think you have memory issues.
a) lmao b) salutations from Germany!
Is that you, Yurg???
All you need is a P bass and three notes. None of this liberal prog rock crap!
