Replica Keyed Bugles
The keyed bugle was the preferred soprano voice in US bands of the 1830s and into the
1850s. Unique to the US bands of this time was the dominance of the soprano keyed
bugle in Eb even after the valved instruments were dominant everywhere else. The best
keyed bugles in the world were built in Boston by E.G. Wright and Graves and Co. My
bugles are copies of these originals that you can see in my museum pages. Read

and Nickel", West Point Bugles or the photographs below.
