cheffy 10 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 WE finally got a bugler for our troop. He can do the call/songs on his trumpet but we are looking for a bugle. We don't want to drop an arm and leg. Any suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites
EagleInKY 14 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Have you Googled on Bugles. (Don't know if it will work, but it sounds cute!) Ebay. Army/Navy stores. Music stores. Old band directors. Link to post Share on other sites
SemperParatus 1 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 We got our troop bugle on ebay for $15. Official BSA model - a dent or two hear and there. Probably 20 years old. Sounds great. Link to post Share on other sites
Be_Prepared 10 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 If you're buying on ebay - stay away from the British/India/Civil War models - the short ones. The Rexcraft model ( makers of the scout bugle ) is a great choice. They go for more with the scout logo on them. I've not seen one for as low as $15, unless, as was indicated, it had some dents. Most go for $40 or so. The non-logoed Rexcraft is a good choice, as is standard army issue. Try to get one keyed in "C" Link to post Share on other sites

Be_Prepared 10 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Meant to say key of "G" on my earlier post - this is the standard key for bugles. Link to post Share on other sites
cheffy 10 Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 fotoscout Thanks for the info. Checked out the web site and found just what we were looking for. the added bonus is that they are only about 40 min from us. The guy there is great to work with and we are going to drive down at some point, try a few out and then decide which one to get. Thanks again. Link to post Share on other sites
bluegoose 10 Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Being a trumpeter I figured that I'd add my thoughts here. Any local music store should be able to order a bugle for you, but they are most likely going to be of 'symphonic' quality, and as such will be more expensive. For less money but the same quality I'd reccomend Woodwind/Brasswind, located in South Bend (I think,) Indiana or at www.wwbw.com The downfall to online ordering is that you need to know what you want when you order. Good luck Link to post Share on other sites
