Following this practice, one D-flat piccolo has been added to the band of fifteen brasswinds and two percussion, for a total of eighteen.

The members of the saxhorn family are the small saxhorn in El,, the soprano in Bl,, the alto in El,, the tenor in Bl,, the bass in Bl~ (an octave lower), the low bass in El,, the contrabass in Bl,, three octaves below the soprano.
The consequence of this structural difference is important, for whereas the tube of the tubas is theoretically of the same length as an open organ pipe of the same pitch, the saxhorns require a tube twice that length to produce the same scale.
The difference between saxhorns and bombardons or tubas consists in the calibre of the bore, which in the latter is sufficiently wide in proportion to the length to produce the fundamental note of the harmonic series an octave below the lowest note of the saxhorns.
