What is a "bugle"?
A bugle is a simple brass instrument that is known for its bright, clear sound and is typically used in military and ceremonial settings. It has a compact, coiled shape with a flared bell and does not have any valves or slides to change the pitch. Instead, the pitch is altered by the player’s lip tension and breath control. The bugle can produce a range of notes, but it is most commonly associated with specific calls and signals. Its straightforward design and strong, penetrating sound make it effective for outdoor performances and signaling in various contexts.
