Bugles

Does anyone know where i could buy a bugle as i am borrowing one at the moment and looking at buying one
Co-admin

A couple of places:
Boosey and Hawkes or McQueens
We currently use McQueens but I seem to remember being told we are switching to a new supplier. A borrowed one is fine for now, it is the mouthpiece that is important.Se a proper brass instructor and learn the correct techniques.

You can start on ebay Will. There's a good lot of them in there at the moment, old and new. Fortunately it's not a huge outlay for a musical instrument. Thank your lucky stars you're not looking for a tuba...

I don't think they have a website and am not certain where they are based. I can find out after leave and let you know.

You are so right. I turned the nes on this morning and my heart sank... WHY ME!!!!!!
I'm still going, even if I have to flap my way there. I'll not give in and back down to these people. If they get me, they'll have to be bloody good as I still have 6 lives left
