So I am having a real interesting problem on my bugle (a dynasty G353 sop). Getting double "C" is a real chore and I cant seem to find a fingering to make it work well. Double Bb B or D isnt a problem, but that C just doesnt want to project. Anyone else experienced this? If so, any work around solutions?

This one is a kick to play. It plays more in tune than my Bach Bb/A piccolo I have. (I think I forgot to list that horn) I havent played any other brand of picc bugle though. I was expecting it to be real thin. While it does have that tight piccolo sound that cuts, it is a pretty fat sound. It isnt stuffy at all, blows real freely. I am having fun with it and the comedic value of a big guy playing this tiny horn to open our show is priceless.

Hello everyone. This is actually my first post to this forum and I thought it was an appropriate place to have everyone get to know me a little. I am a crossover player, where as I play many wind and percussion instruments. My instrument list would be quite long if I listed them all individually so I wont list them all. The most important to this forum is "G" horns so I will start there.
