Double B flat Bass BBb Bass
trumpet, cornet, Eb Bass, Eb horn, baritone, trombone, euphonium, ETC. Actually, it depends on your definition of "brass band." There are New Orleans Brass Bands, Regimental Brass Bands, both of which encorporate woodwinds. If you're talking about the traditional British Brass Band, the standard instrumentation is: Eb Soprano Cornet, Bb Cornet, Flugelhorn, Eb Tenor Horn, Bb Baritone, Euphonium, Tenor Trombone, Bass Trombone, Eb Bass, Bb Bass and percussion.
The bass clarinet add a different sound to the harmonies. Rather than the trombone or bass guitar, and bass saxophone . Its a different bass sound .
No. Bass is low pitch.
The bass
Actually, a band is instruments such as brass, woodwinds, percussion, etc. without string instruments. A wind ensemble may or may not include the upright bass. An orchestra would include string instruments such as violins, violas, bass, cellos, and a few brass and woodwinds, and of course percussion.
piccolo because smallest or sax because its easy to make a sound
I'd say it's not absolutely necesary to have a bass player in the band. However, you should know that the overall feel, power and presence of your band's sound lays heavily on the firm, solid base that the bass player creates. Not only does he(she) provide the entire support for the other instruments (along with the drums), they also make the sound a lot fuller and lively. Without the bass, the band is most likely to sound empty. But still, if you can't find a bass player there are other instruments like a piano or syntheziser that can fill in for the bass parts. The important thing is to have a solid base on which the other instruments can rest. There is no one right sound for any band. And as long as there is an instrument that has a tonal range extending into the bass frequencies, you also will not lose the "bottom" in the music. Examples of bass-less bands include Sleater-Kinney (where rhythm guitarist Corin Tucker's guitar tone and style almost serve as a bass), The White Stripes, and Led Zeppelin in certain live situations when bassist John Paul Jones would play keyboards, and employ sounds that have a solid bottom. A band with a piano often doesn't need bass at all, given the piano's powerful low-end sound, percussive clarity, and full sonic spectrum. Conversely, you have a band like Motorhead, which has a bass player (Lemmy Kilmister) who makes his bass tone much higher ("buzz bass"), sounding more like a rhythm guitar than a bass.
No, it would go in the "String Family", not the "Brass Family".
One thought that I have which may possibly benefit you is a blues technique called constant bass, and alternating bass. With the constant bass, you're using your fingers for the higher notes, and your thumb on your bass strings for a bass sound . With the alternating bass, you're using your fingers on the higher notes, and your thumb on the bass strings on the beat - therefore, the alternating bass term
It serves as the bass of the brass section and of brass quintets and choirs, as well as reinforcement for the bass voices of the strings and woodwinds, and as a solo instrument.
