Apparently in the brass band world, particularly the UK, it is so that people can change instruments and concentrate on learning the instrument without the hassle of trying to master a new clef and new fingerings at the same time. There is quite a lot of internet dealing with this topic.


On the subject of where I live, I have to say that the view out to the islands from Redland Band is beautiful and it gives me a thrill each morning when I am walking my dog along the track.
