    Finally got an Official Boy Scout Bugle. This one is made by Rexcraft. This is a real official one as seen in photo #2. Not sure how old it is but it has a lovely patina. Looks bronze. It is almost the exact same as a US Army regulation bugle. The tuning slides are in different positions. Looks like it can be tuned to a full step higher. In the long long ago I could actually play the bugle and played taps at a memorial day service but I have lost my lip. Actually the lip is still there but I can't play the bugle anymore.

      Y'all. Just be grateful that you were spared "laryngocele" and "Gillespie's Pouches. Or were you? };-)

      I myself played clarinet in grade school, but couldn't do more than wet a reed at this point.

      Thank you very much Scott and Merry Christmas.

      Sorry Dave. I will get to work on getting my pins together and get back to the Saturday Evening Scout Post. I have other stuff too. I was a trombone player but I played other brass too.

      Thank you very much keramikos. I don't think so and happy holidays.

      Thank you very much

      Very Nice Fort., I have one of its twin brothers i found last year in one of my honey holes in CA. I also attempted to play the trumpet in the 7th grade early 60s, but never learned to read music, so faked it. LOL
