Bugle : What is it?

bugle1

A bugle looks like a small trumpet but does not have any valve. Since it does not have any other mechanism for adjusting or controlling the pitch, it is controlled by altering embouchure. Bugles are restricted to producing a few notes from certain harmonic series. Because of their limited capabilities, bugles are mostly used only in the military.
