My son was looking for a regulation bugle. This is it. The finish is beautiful and it does everything he wanted it to do.

The Regulation Bugle Gold Lacquer Bugle is what everyone for 90 years & 5 generations have played in my family. It is as easy to play as bugles come, so it is great to learn to play one. It plays in G-Flat & F-Flat, and as you get better at playing a bugle you will really appreciate the smooth action of the F-slide it comes with. The F-slide is perfect for getting just the right tone quality for playing in different circumstances such as in various sized rooms to outdoors. The sound quality is excellent, so that is why it is the choice of every branch of the U.S. military & the Boy Scouts. As a Merchant Marine Admiral, I can tell you that many other bugle players from foreign countries also prefer this model. I learned to play as a 5th grader on my Great Great Uncle’s 1933 bugle that is identical to this one you can buy for the best price right here on Amazon.com. With the lacquer finish they are easy to maintain & stay beautiful as new for your lifetime & for a few more generations if well cared for. This model bugle comes standard with 2 sling rings which you will appreciate because the rings make it much easier to carry than most bugles. The highly polished brass it is constructed of makes it look great & that brass is strong so it doesn’t dent so easily like bugles made of cheaper materials. The Regulation Bugle Gold Lacquer Bugle is everything you could ask for in a fine high quality musical instrument.

I’ve used this bugle for 6 months now, and it has been great. The quality is excellent for the price, and I don’t have to treat it as carefully as I do my trumpet for those outdoor events. I should have bought this years ago!
