Hi Folks,
All this talk about bass trombones has got me wondering why the bass trombone is the only non-transposing brass instrument in the traditional British brass band. As I understand it, the practice of transposing all the instruments in a brass band into either Eb or Bb and writing them in treble clef developed in England during the Industrial Revolution. Why didn't the bass trombone follow the same convention? I'm just now finishing the first piece I have written for brass band and find the unusual transposition interesting.
