A bugle is essentially a Trumpet type instrument without the valves to change pitch. Because of that, it can play a series of partials going up. The notes a bugle is capable of playing get closer the higher register you play, so you could-theoretically-play every not, but only several octaves up.

The notes are based on the harmonic series of a fundamental pitch...

if you want to get technical.
if it was pitched in G, you could play (in ascending order) G, D, G, B, D, F, Ab, Bb, and at that point the notes get REALLY close together. It's essentially the same pattern in all horns, just transposed around depending on the instrument.
If you need a specific transposition, please ask for a specific key.

What valve combinations on a trumpet would be the same key as the bugle?
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.
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.
How many valves are on a bugle?
0. Bugles are Natural horns without any pitch altering devices so they can only play notes in a harmonic series.
Can brass bugle play Amazing Grace?
No. Bugles are very limited in the number of notes they can play. The variety of low range notes required to play Amazing Grace would be impossible for a bugle.Jason -- have you *tried* it yourself? I've played a version of "Amazing Grace" on a US Regulation bugle that was recognizable to people who were not told in advance what I would be playing. Think of it like bagpipes or carillon -- true, the bugle only plays a few intervals, rather than the full chromatic scale which most musicians are used to. But listen to how a bagpiper will work around the "missing" notes to make a tune succeed despite that.
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! :)

Do bull elk bugle though their teeth?

What is the difference between a bugle and a coronet?
A bugle (usually) doesn't have valves, while a cornet almost always does. This means a cornet can play notes that are not possible on the bugle, but the instruments are similar enough that someone who can play a cornet can also play a bugle (or just mimic one on a cornet by not using the valves).

Why does a trombone produce lower notes than a bugle?
the trombone is longer than the bugle, giving the sound a longer path to travel, thus making the sound waves more spread out, giving it a lower tone.
