Editing Concertmaster (section)

== Other large ensembles ==

In a standard [[concert band]], the concertmaster is the principal [[clarinet]] or [[oboe]] and leads the ensemble's tuning. The first-chair concertmaster will, in common practice, play all [[Solo (music)|solos]] for their instrument. Often the lead [[flautist]] will receive similar responsibilities to the concertmaster, depending on several factors such as age, skill and time spent in the [[Musical ensemble|ensemble]]. The concertmaster will, in both orchestral and wind band settings, also coordinate with other principals and section leaders, in most cases being their senior in terms of group [[pecking order]].

In [[brass bands]], the role of concertmaster is often filled by the principal solo [[cornet]] or [[trumpet]].
