I have what i have been told are 2 british cavalry trumpets, they both are tuned fairly differently, the second note of reveille coming out as a G on one and an Ab on the other

Can you do a video on how to clean a bugle that has the mouthpiece attached to it? Is it safe for the mouthpiece to go in the water?

[@StevetheMusician]

I didn’t realize that I had missed the mouthpiece.
You can clean it exactly the way you clean the rest of the bugle. Trumpet cleaning kits will typically include a snake and mouthpiece brush.

I have a Crescent Cavalry bugle as my practice (I'm a beginner) can I put it in water as well, at the moment I am using the trumpet brush and I'm having a hard time brushing it through

What if my bugle dosent have a slide and its corroded inside

[@Antumailin]

Hello, I want to learn to play the bugles, I bought it very recently, it is a Boy Scout bugles, but it has a mouthpiece for a boy and I am already grown, which mouthpiece do you recommend to play this bugles, thanks for any advice

[@StevetheMusician]

I would take it to a music store and find a trumpet mouthpiece that will fit. 5C or 3C equivalents are good choices. 7C will also work.

[@Antumailin]

@@StevetheMusician Ok, thanks for answering my question, it helped me a lot thanks, thanks

[@LA6616]

And I’ve be been practicing while drinking coffee

What should i do if my bugle does not have a Slide

[@StevetheMusician]

Just push the brush through each side of the bugle as far as it will reach.

[@Sullysguitarcenter]

@@StevetheMusicianI don’t have that brush and mine doesn’t have a slide

[@kevapa321thetsumi.]

[@wilkinsjanlanas8010]

[@SpoonsOG]

[@maggiecrisp-oxford1536]

what would i do if my bugle doesn't have a slide?

[@StevetheMusician]

Then you don't need to tune it. If you are playing alone, it makes no real difference.

[@StevetheMusician]

I thought I was replying to a different video...with regard to cleaning, just push the brush through as far as you can on each side.

[@Minicooperokc]

my bugle has no valve

[@DK_RK294]

That was a fast half hour
