Economies in the brass world

[James Yelland]

Following on from arrivals at the Bandsman's ball.........

In these times of economic stricture we all need to tighten our belts. With this in mind, nominations for more economic versions of all things brass are invited. I have a few of my own to start us off...

From Edward Gregson, Of Men and Molehills.
An old testpiece classic, Diadem of Electroplated Nickel Silver.
Greyscales (formerly Gilbert Vinter's Spectrum).
Concerto Parvo (bit scholarly, that one).
The Model Shipbuilders.
My Modest Savings Account (formerly Wilfred Heaton's My Treasure).

Rent-As-You View Cory Band.
Besses o'the Shed Band.

The trombonist Lindsay Shilling becomes Lindsay Sixpence.

And will you please welcome Ronald Responsible-Drinking (formerly Ronald Binge).
