It is made of the finest quality brass by highly experienced, skilled craftsmen. With reasonable care, this musical instrument will last a lifetime. As specified by the quartermaster of the US Army in 1882, U.S. Regulation Bugles are built in the key of g with a tuning slide that will bring it down to the key of. It is easy to play and sounds just the way you know it should. You can play every official bugle call on your U.S. Regulation Bugle. If it doesn't have U.S. Regulation Bugle stamped on the bell, it's not the real thing.

Good quality for a $200 bugle.

Looks nice, but plays very "airy". Not a true vibrant sound. Hard to hit high notes. After trying this, I prefer to use my old trumpet for Bugle calls. I wasted the money on this, but had no other way to find out if it was worth it. Not worth it for me. Maybe for a beginner or boy scout. Not sure if all Bugles are like this one, but if they are, my advice is to stick to a trumpet.

It's a bugle. It has a somewhat "tinny" sound even when tuned. It just comes in a box so don't expect any type of case with it at this price.

Just what my son wanted for Boy Scouts! The reasonable price was on target for this basic bugle. While he prefers to use his familiar trumpet mouthpiece, the included mouthpiece is decent. Overall the tone and timbre are fine for my beginning bugler.

This bugle not only looks great but plays that way as well. My son is associated with the Scouts and Air Force ROTC and they utilize his abilities and his instrument frequently and is always complimented. Costs more than some but less than others but is definely worth it.

I am a Chaplain in my local SCV camp and I wanted to be able to play taps at funerals and special events. I played clarinet for a few years in my youth, and somewhere along the lines, my parents picked me up a coronet when I was young. I never had lessons on the trumpet or coronet, but I learned to blow it and play a couple of tunes on it. I figured that I could teach myself to blow a bugle. I originally ordered a cheap civil war era bugle and was disappointed. It would play, but the notes were not correct when I would try to play a scale. I realized it was more of a display item than a serious instrument. After doing some research, I decided on the US Regulation Bugle Gold Lacquer Bugle. I figured that if it is good enough for the US Military and Boy Scouts, it would be the right one for me! Yep, cost a little more, but well worth it. I got a couple of books to learn from with CD and a DVD, but so far, I have been practicing hitting the notes and holding them in order to get my lip back! This bugle not only looks beautiful, it plays beautiful. I matched the notes to my piano, and they were right on. This bugle may not be Civil War era, but that is okay. I'm sure no one will really notice (well, at least in my camp...and if they do, they will be okay with it). I can hit all the notes for Taps, just not real clean yet. But, I've only just begun! If you have the money and want a really good bugle, I would say that you should get this one. You can tune it with the slide and the mouth piece is removable. The mouth piece is a nice one as well. Good luck...and happy blowing!

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!
