    What section does the tin whistle fit in? Oh yes, that's right, the pretend section! :grin:

    Has to be woodwind too though, right?

    So are you telling me that a euphonium is NOT a brass instrument and is not a wind instrument? IT IS NOT MADE OF WOOD!

    I am telling you that a euphonium is a brass instrument and NOT a wind instrument. Having played one for over 40 years, both professionally and for fun, I might have a small idea about this :)

    A Brass band is made up of brass instruments only, a wind band has those horrible squeaky things in it as well.

    I won't and can't argue with your professional expertise, but this seems to be a contradiction. Anyway what started out as a bit of fun seems to have attracted the pedants, not what I had in mind or expected!
    Not bothered about the "ecky thumps", brass bands are not my thing!
