[WANTED] 28mm Napoleonic Band

OK, I'm looking for a 28mm (1/56 or thereabouts) full-size military band for use in a Napoleonic context. I'm planning to convert/paint them up as the band of the 1st Brunswick Line Battalion of 1815, formerly the court orchestra of "King Jerome of Westphalia" that was drafter pretty much en masse. I am aware of the Warlord Imperial Guard band, but it requires a superhuman level of conversion - something much (MUCH!!!) simpler would be appreciated. Ditto the British Infantry band produced by Minifigs - a little too small for my tastes.

I'm not aware of any manufacturer making a 3D Printed version, but if anybody knows of one......

I'd think MiniFigs do some band figures, maybe in the special/accessory range? Old Glory too I think.

Trent Miniatures have Bandsmen ~ French and British drum majors, big drummer, pack of four bandsmen with different instruments. Apart from Drum Major they have separate heads which might help your conversions. Trent do separate heads too. The band in the picture I assembled from those.

There's also a Jingling Johnny figure. I've got an Austrian fifer which might be in catalogue.
