Can somebody tell me what instuments were used by the BB Band?
Jurgen, are you attempting to replicate the selection of instruments seen in the movie, or the instruments used to make the music? I remembering hearing in one of the documentaries that the music was actually recorded with 4 horns, but there are only 3 horn players seen in the movie.
So if you wanted to know the type of instrument used to make the music, you could look at the sheet music, maybe like this:

These guys?
Produced by
Bernie Brillstein .... executive producer
George Folsey Jr. .... associate producer
David Sosna .... associate producer
Robert K. Weiss .... producer
www.imdb.com/title/tt0080455/combinedFor instruments, I see some more stuff here:
www.bluesbrotherscentral.com/forum/topic/3974-can-you-name-the-instruments/------------------
Willie Hall....Slingerland Drums
Duck Dunn....Fender P Bass
Murphy Dunne....Hammond B3 organ & Acoustic piano (unknown make). Fender Rhodes piano at the Holiday Inn
Steve Cropper...'52-'55 Fender Telecaster (blonde finished one live, red one in movie)
Elwood Blues...Honner Blues 20 Harmonica (I think that's right), most likely Shure M57 mics, same as Jake
Matt Murphy...1958 Gibson ES-335 Dot 2x (one red and one sunburst for live) mid 1960's Gibson SG Special - natural finish
I believe that the Grand piano that Murph has is a Steinway and Sons. I'm not entirely sure, though...
The Vocal Microphones used in the Movie were definitely Shure SM58, not M57. They were also used by Willie Hall for his Toms. Elwoods Harp Mic must have been a Shure 520DX "Green Bullet" (or at least the "ancestor" of it...)

Are you entering a contest where you need to know just the general list of instruments that the band members are (visually) using in the movie, like "sax", and you don't need to know "alto sax", or the particular make or model?
your friend in understanding the scope of the question,
