All around the world the instrumentation used in brass bands has been set in concrete for
some time. This essay discusses the formative years of banding in the United Kingdom in the
early and middle parts of the nineteenth Century, with an emphasis on the emergence of bands
that were all brass, the evolution towards the current instrumentation, the development of the
instruments used and the emergence of the saxhorn family as the source of the unique brass
band sound. As the future progression of the movement is important, I shall discuss why the
instrumentation is so inflexible, whether composers feel constrained by it, what attempts there
have been to bypass these constraints and what instrumental experiments are possible.
