THE FINNISH BRASS SEPTET – SOMETHING UNIQUE FROM FINLAND
Brass septet is the most “Finnish” of different band line-ups in the world. The original composition of a Finnish brass septet consists of an Eb-cornet, 1st and 2nd Bb cornets, Eb-alto horn, Bb-tenor horn, Bb-barytone horn (euphonium) and a tuba. The unique sound of a brass septet is achieved by having all the instruments come from the board-mensure cornet family. You can also play this material easily with, trumpets, french horns, trombones etc.
