Virtual ragtime brass band

Brass band

Ragtime was also played by brass bands. They were typically much larger - 20-25 instruments - than the local orchestras and made up of wood winds, brass and percussion only. They could thus perform outdoors and march in parades etc.

NOTE: Present day brass band instrumentation was standardized in the mid-1950s. Brass band music published during the ragtime era had Db Piccolo instead of C Flute and Eb Alto Horns instead of F Horns.
