If the bugle is in the normal key of B-flat, then the notes played by the bugle correspond to the open notes of the Trumpet - no valves pressed down at all. If the bugle is in a different key than the trumpet, you will need to transpose the bugle notes into the key of the trumpet to find which notes to play on the trumpet. After you have done the transposition, it should be the case that the same valve combination can be used for all the bugle notes in that key.

Trumpets and bugles both come in different keys, so any trumpet-bugle pair could be in the same key or in different keys.

A kind of horn or trumpet used in the army?

That would be a bugle. Bugles actually only play about four notes; all bugle calls are based on them.


What instrument is brass and resembles a bugle?

First off, the members of the bugle family are the trumpet, the marching euphonium, the mellophone, and the contrabass bugle, as seen in drum and bugle corps.A bugle, in the military, is a brass instrument with no valves used to project musical commands called "bugle calls." If this is the type of bugle you're talking about, its closest relative would be the trumpet.Hope this helped! :)


What is a medieval trumpet called?

The medieval trumpet you're thinking of would be the Herald Trumpet. It was a natural horn and could only play notes that would be considered "open valve" on today's modern trumpets. In the late 1800's, the cornet was invented. It was like a bugle, but it had valves and slides. A little while later and the cornet was elongated to make the first modern trumpet. Clarion


Where was the first trumpet actually made?

We don't know. But the concept of a brass tube, flared at one end, and with a mouthpiece to buzz the lips against at the other end, was in common use at the time of the Roman Empire. Valves came much later, of course. The Bugle has more flare to the tube, in fact my trumpet teacher taught us that the difference between "trumpet family" and "bugle family" is that trumpet family instruments are 1/3 flared tube, 2/3 straight tube, while bugle family is 2/3 flared tube, 1/3 straight tube.

How do you sound like a bugle on a trumpet?

Pick one fingering and only play those notes. Traditionally, bugles are tuned in G, so the equivalent would be 1st and 2nd valve on a B-flat trumpet.

Why does the trumpet have 3 buttons?

Each button, or valve, changes the pitch by a different amount when pressed. When used in different combinations, it makes it possible to play every note. With the way it's designed, one or two valves would still limit the notes it could play, while a fourth would become redundant.


What valve would you push down if you were playing an f on a trumpet?

Valve 1 and 3 for low f, valve 1 for high f On a B-flat trumpet, 1 and 3 is a low G, not F. Low F below the staff is below the natrual range of a B-flat trumpet. to play that note, you must either press all three valves and pull out the slides or use pedal tones.


How do you oil the pistons on a trumpet?

First of all, for those who are very new to the trumpet, only use the oil you can buy in a music store. Never try to use a substitute that you just have lying around the house. Things like vegetable oil and motor oil do not go in a trumpet. Find the point at which the moving part of the valve (the part you push down) meets the body of the trumpet. You should be able to unscrew this part. Lift each valve out one at a time so you don't put them back in the wrong place. Squeeze some oil out of the bottle onto the large part (the part that goes inside the trumpet). You can also squeeze some inside the opening in which the valve would go, if necessary. Replace the valve and screw the top back on. When you replace the valve, you need to be sure that it goes in with the same orientation as when you removed it. Many modern trumpets come with a nice feature which will allow you to twist the valve until it clicks into place. Blow air through the trumpet and move the valve up and down to make sure air always moves through the trumpet. If air movement halts, it means you either put a valve in the wrong opening, or the valve was replaced incorrectly.
