JimF-LowBari Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 OK, I ripped off the Capital One commercial (What's in Your Wallet?) :P Wondering if anyone else has any older bugles/horns that they keep around and why they still keep them. No I'm not looking to buy, just wondering if others feel the way I do about the "old metal". I have a 2 valve Bari that I use for home practice and Westshoremen Alumni. Also have single valve Bari from before World War II (see avatar). Saw it on ebay and just could not resist. b**bs Yeah I play it once in a while too B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoKeefus Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 I have an old King's (made in Cleveland) cornet that has seen better days. I have my Dynasty Sop that I march with and I am on ebay right now looking for a trumpet. (Maybe two trumpets. My daughter starts middle school next year and they have band.)

Jeff Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 I have a nice collection of valveless and one valve bugles that hang on the wall along with others in the attic. There is an amazing array of styles and shapes to be found. I just won two M1894 Bb trench bugles on Ebay, one raw brass the other silver, and they cleaned up nicely.
