Instruments

The Band is a musical ensemble made up of wind instruments and percussion instruments, with occasional addition of heavily recorded friction stringed instruments. Specifically, that musical herd aggregates the instruments of the soprano, alto, tenor and bass typologies of the families of edge woods (transverse flutes), single tube closed vane (clarinets), single tube open vane (saxophones), vane (trumpets, sax-horns, sousaphone), conical (horn), rod (trombones), as well as percussion instruments of families of defined-height membranophones (eardrums) (xylophone, marimba) or of metal (plates), with or without metal (plates), of wood (xylophone, marimba) or metal (vibraphone, glockenspiel), metal percussion tubes (chime, tam-tam), and, occasionally, rubbed strings (cello, contrabass), among others. Given the lack of financial resources of the bands, the instruments to which the executors had access were mainly of average quality, acquired mainly by French, German, Portuguese, Italian and English builders. It also took the normal definition of the tuning fork of the instrument, so that the bands used for a long period sharpened tuning instruments, the so-called "shiny instruments", gradually replacing it with equipment with the commonly established tuning fork (there: 440-442 Hz).
