Svenska Klarinett-sextetten

The ensemble Svenska Klarinett-sextetten was founded and led by the trumpeter Leonard Julius Åkerberg (1873-1956), a Warrant Officer in the Bohuslän Regimental Band between 1898-1926. He made more than 1000 arrangements for this ensemble of a rather unusual "Clarinet Sextett" type, consisting of two Bb Clarinets, Trumpet (or Cornet), Eb Alto Horn, Bb Tenor Horn (or Valve Trombone), Bass Tuba and Percussion.
