    Description

    A vintage single valve brass bugle.  There are several dents and wrinkles.  It still works as I was able to get "Taps" out using the valve.  Starting with the valve engaged.  Easy player even for a woodwind guy!  It seems to be an alto range instrument.  19 inches without mp and 22 with a mp.  The bell has almost a 6 inch rim.
    Two spit valves and two strap rings.  Bottom valve floating spring.  Finger hook.  She could use a major overhaul or just a lot of fun with minor tweaking.  (corks and felt)
    The single tuning slide is free.  The finish is 50/50 natural brass patina and some current polishing.
    Serial number 6219.
    I'm thinking shipping to the 48 USA and Canada only or using a domestic service.  It's always best to ask when in doubt.  From experience some Customs personnel in some countries are brutal
