Wind band/ brass band is where my heart is.

I played the drums in my youth (and wasn’t bad for a self-taught teen) and dabbled in a number of other instruments over the years - flute, soprano sax, bass, clarinet - but was never serious about any of them or in any way accomplished. At one point I had some very rudimentary piano skills, but those days are long gone now too. I guess now I play the mouse and keyboard.

Then, back to the garden to harvest leeks for an outstanding dinner tonight (my Serbian wife is preparing another chef d'oeuvre).
I'm curious about the instrumental demographics of this group (in terms of primary instrument). Mostly keyboards? Are there any guitarists (other than myself), double bass, hurdy gurdy
, trumpet players? I hope this question isn't inappropriate, just a means of me getting to know the compose forum proletariat better....
Peace, friends
