My cornet is nickel.. same technique?

Hi Buddy, this video is a little more than 6 years old now, and in it, you said you wouldn't pay $300 for one of these. I played one in 87-88, and it would be fun to have one again, but the only ones I see are listed at almost $500 (or are in really bad shape). Post-pandemic inflation, what do you consider a fair price for one of these today?

Oorah!

me being a very young person and not able to find much information is this by chance the type of horn that the blue devils used in 1989?

Wanna sell it?

I just picked one up from eBay - I thought it would look good to hang with my (Authentic.) American Civil War cavalry sabre. I've been searching for instructions for the yellow silk cavalry cord wrap. Thanks for sharing this...

Congratulations on your new book! Enjoyed this, thanks. I have a reproduction brass Civil War bugle and recently purchased the yellow silk cavalry cord. I've searched and searched for the historically appropriate wrap...any ideas? Take care...

I see "String Swing" instrument holders on the wall! I'm a horn player, and never heard of this type of bugle. I think I want one...

Linda demostración maestro! Una consulta tengo una trompeta carabelle DEG muy antigua ,¿Que gama o nivel es ? Asi veo la forma de invertir en una restauración de la trompeta.

It is not called a bugle due to the key it is in. It is a bugle because it does not have the fully chromatic scale of a normal, three-valved brass instrument that is used in bands or orchestras. That was why there was such a huge stink when the DCI Rules Congress voted to legalize fully chromatic instruments (still in G) and then trying to do Damage Control with the fan base, because essentially DCI became G-pitched, brass marching bands at that time - drum and bugle corps ceased to exist at that point. Nice, old soprano, there, sir… and you sound great on it. Keep posting!

Freelancers Alumni has some Dynasty 3 valves and they play horrible. When you try to hit a high A, good luck on what pitch actually is achieved. I got a Kanstul direct from them a few years before they went out of business. Plays much, much better.

nothing like the sound of an Olds Ultratone 2 valve rotary into their 2 valve.

have the same one sitting in my case. grew up in drum corps marched from 67 till 79 last two years with BAC nothing lke the power of a g bugle

I have that Getzen, and an Olds of the same vintage. I think the Olds sounds better, but the Getzen rotor assembly is way better engineered then the Olds' patented "self-loosening pivot screw".

Ralph Vaughan Williams called for one of these in his Pastoral Symphony, it’s a piece based on World War 1. The cavalry trumpet excerpt is based on a bugler’s warmup routine he heard as a field medic. He uses the flat 7th partial a lot.

Sounds awesome ❤

I played this bugle in my drum & bugle corp and and have thought about it for 30 years but could never find one. I thought I remembered it wrong, only to find out that they stopped using them. Where are they all now? I got a trumpet, but it's not the same. Just today, I found one available and my husband bought it for me. I am hoping to recreate the magic that I had back then, it brought me so much happiness!

Black Knights from Belleville Illinois, 1973! I have a large collection.

I have an unidentified G-D tenor-baritone that is actually the same pitch as a bass-baritone, but more narrow bore. I bought it at a flea market many years ago for $18. Since it has no manufacturer branding on it, I assume it was made for military use. Looking at pictures of different tenor-baritones I have concluded that it is probably a Gretsch. It is very rough but does play. Takes a lot of wind to play it, much more than either of my trombones.

This is outrageous. So many folks who only understand music trying to handle a chemical reaction issue. Low and behold, a basic understanding of chemistry accomplishes so much more impressive. Just awesome, man.

Ive bought one of these to annoy my girlfriend and for the life of me i cant bloody do it. She had the last laugh 😂

First instrument I learned to play.

Oh GREAT !...you woke the baby !

Nice bugle. What is it worth?

I just got one of these!! It’s so cool and to own a piece of marching history is super interesting to me. I marched 2023 as a tuba (yay rookie year and age-out) but I had a blast. Thank you for the video on this awesome horn!!

Very excited. Just bought volumes 1 and 2. New bugler and looking forward to learning a lot from these. Many thanks!!!!

Thank you for the honor. Trumpets Couesnon. Last call was "Aux morts" ("To the dead"). French pronunciation: do not pronounce the x, t or s. Like "O more".

I was in 2 different Drum and Bugle corps back in 1972 to 1980 and had played all 3 horns Rotary valve soprano Rotary valve melaphone and rotary valve Is baratone Had a lot of fun And travel all over the Eastern coast of the United States

I marched with The Cavaliers in the two-valve bugle days and we switched from Olds to Dynasty; I far preferred the Olds Ultratone II. The high register was ridiculously easy and I thought the tone was more consistent in every register.

Mate, what mouthpiece did it come with? I think it was meant to be an olds 16 i just bought one, but it came with the wrong mp and I'd like to have the appropriate one for it

How long is a little while?

Nice video, thanks for sharing :)

I have this exact horn, well before leblanc bought holton, it's been through four generation of people and still going strong.

Nice job. TY very much for posting. I have a "U.S. Regulation" OVER "MADE IN U.S.A." Any one know how to date it?

Earliest date for this horn is 1967, when the key of G-F was okayed to replace G-D. The rotary valve replaced the earlier (half-step) slip slide. Nice horn - that bad boy will play forever, and sound good. The Olds was one of the few mellophone horns that could be played in (relative) tune. Your fine collection on the wall indicates that you probably know all that. Did you march?

Good playing!

Mine is a 1960s vintage Olds Ambassador in F. I usually play it with my left hand in the bell, which gives it a smoother sound. I love the tone of a good mellophone.

im learninf the bugle and i dont know how to get the high notes, they either fail and are breathy or they are flat

1978 We had them brand new in The Spirit of Atlanta. It is in G.

Something I did on a silver plate cornet that I'm happy with is use a car polish that has carnauba wax in it, on just the bell up to first attachment, and the mouthpiece. DPO Dreaded Previous Owner AKA eBay seller had polished a part of the stencil done for Chicago retailer, and tarnishing of unpolished area was uneven, ugly, weird. Only polish by hand, I think DPO Q&D handiwork may have softened the stencil marking. I'm very happy with the way the cornet looks now. A Good way to polish silver is with the hot water, baking soda, aluminum foil method, but I won't be doing that. The carnauba wax in the car polish probably lessens/slows tarmishing a lot. Some instruments have little knobs on the slides to help pull them. If using the rag pop method to pull those stuck slides there must be a long cut in the cloth the knob passes through to eliminate any stress specific to the knob because the rag will pull them up & be a ugly mess.

Hello sir, can you give me 1 bugle😢

Hello sir I'm from Philippines, can I ask if where I can buy this kind of bugle?

Whay are the notes?

Just got one like this on eBay. Very cool. Did not know it was baritone til I watched this. Thought that the sound was awfully low!

i found i beautiful one of these turned into a lamp that i snagged at a pawn. as a trumpet player, is one of the coolest things i own

Hello, this year, French bugle celebrates his birthday! He is 200 years old! 🍾🎂

Practice, dude/

New ones are now up to $230- $250. I just found one and one the bid on e-bay for $9. It needs to be cleaned up but is a pretty good deal. U.S. Regulation made in USA.

Outstanding!

Do you have any idea what the ratios would be for a trombone in a bathtub? I own an antique silver Conn valve bone.
