2-valve G Baritone Bugle Range

It's more like what you can't do.... Namely you can't play any notes that use the 3rd valve.

Other than that...... can't think of anything else..... except good luck

s/ Guy who went from trombone to G piston/rotor to G 2 valves (same idea as piston/rotor) to G 3 valves......

If you're reading treble clef, high A flat one ledger line above the staff will play in first valve. there are a few notes you can't play. Lower register will tend to be muddy. The horn will really light up from third space a on up. Practical range is a three ledger line E for me, sometimes guys can take it higher. A lot depends on the model of the instrument. If you're fortunate you've got a King. Have fun, they're great toys, man.

When I was in the Army before a promotion board, I was asked the question "what is the max range of a trombone?" The answer--as high as you can play. That is true of all brass instruments and players. For me at the time, it was double high Bb
