this is patrick from germany. I am member of a drum and bugle corps and I am searching for a high quality bugle for bugle calls and other compositions just like Ian Macpherson's "Bugler's Nocturne". We already had had some bugles from elsewhere but the quality was so low that the paint vanished within a half year.
I want to ask where the RGJ buy there bugles because they must have a outstanding quality. Who can help?
If you place your contct e.mail here then I will send you details of a Bb Bugle on e.bay. I tried to post the info on here but it was marked as Spam and so may not get to this board.
We've got attack bugles which are camouflaged. The night bugles come in dusk grey or pitch black. Some of the covert bugles have got silencers on them. There are ventriloquist bugles where the noise comes out of a little suitcase on trestles about 16 feet away or there are display bugles that light up the bugler's eyes and beams come out of his ears.
Most of the solid silver bugles had been purchased by the officers for the respective Battalions. Our battalion purchased one many years ago for about 600 GBP.
