Increasingly I hear The Last Post played on a trumpet instead of a bugle but it just does not sound the same. The trumpet is too pure. The bugle is coarse. Why do they do it? Is the trumpet easier? I'd much rather hear it played on a bugle. What do you think?	Roscoe (6288)

I'd much rather hear it played on a bugle. What do you think? The only thing I can think of is that more people own and learn to play a trumpet. One of my 12 year old grandsons plays trumpet. Once the town band was a bit short of players and asked him to fill in....he's only a little guy and when they were marching you couldn't see Reuben, just the trumpet moving along the street.

The Rifles, an infantry regiment in the British Army, has retained the bugle for ceremonial and symbolic purposes. The bugle has also been used as a sign of peace in the case of a surrender." lurking. ps. bugle is also one complete tube. lurks.	Lurking (218)

As I understand it the cavalry used a trumpet (without valves, so that it was like an elongated bugle). A bugle is a simple instrument with no valves, which makes it more rugged for active service. Having said that, during CMT training at Burnham, the army used records for their bugle calls!	Brucem (8688)
