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! :)


Are trumpets and bugles the same?

They are different. A trumpet has valves whereas a bugle does not. Bugles are used mainly for military signals etc.


What instrument in the brass family does not have valves?

Most trombones don't have valves and just have a slide to change the length of the tubing that the air travels through. A bugle is another brass instrument that does not have valves. All changes in pitch are made by altering the player's embouchure on the bugle.


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.


What sound does a bugle make?

The same as a trumpet, the problem is, you don't have valves, so you're completely dependent upon your labial skills whilst playing. Playing chromatically on a bugle asks for a very big range.

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).
