web site, MFBRASS. The purpose of this web site is to list all of the
brass arrangements I have done, including quartets, quintets, sextets,
septets, octets, nonets, dectets, double quintets, 13 piece and brass
band.
Please enjoy browsing.

Ted Sparks is a Brasswind
Musical Instrument Technician based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Before
developing the
Sparx Cornet Mouthpiece, Ted played in the "Canadian Staff Band" for
fourteen years. After an eleven year stint on the solo cornet bench, he
spent his final three years as the band's soprano cornetist. Today Ted
performs with Toronto's Hannaford Street Silver Band and a wide variety
of ensembles as a trumpet player and cornetist. Ted's knowledge of Brass
Instruments and interest in Brass Bands has been the driving force
behind this joint project.

Unlike most popular brass ensembles in
the United States our British Brass Band is a unique ensemble, with a
very specific instrumentation, utilizing cornets, not trumpets and alto
horns not French horns. The rich, dark, and mellow tone quality you hear
stems from the fact that all the instruments, except the trombones, are
conical bore in design, therefore permitting the brass band to produce a
most unique and different sound.
Originating in Britain, it is naturally quite popular in the
commonwealth countries and has become very popular throughout Europe and
the rest of the world. For many years the movement was kept alive in the
United States largely by the Salvation Army’s influence.

Great trombone playing.
I have included it for no other reason than it is some of the best
trombone quartet playing I have heard, especially the girl playing the
piccolo part on trombone. Amazing!!!.
