The Band
The Turvey Mysteries productions use a large live band, allowing orchestration similar to the Home Service original. Key instruments in achieving this are keyboards, drums, electric guitar, bass, melodeon, violin, saxophone, trumpet and trombone. In addition, the early music numbers use instruments to suit this genre, including low reeds and recorders.
