Mouthpiece

It is highly recommended that a modern trumpet or coronet mouthpiece be used in place of the one that comes with the bugle. Standard mouthpiece sizes include 7C, 5C and 3C, among others.

Mouthpieces should not be shared. Disinfect the mouthpiece before a new bugler starts using it.

Buglers are often exposed to cold weather conditions. Having both types of mouthpieces—metal for standard use and plastic for colder temperatures—could provide versatility and safety in your performance setups. This would ensure that you can perform comfortably and effectively, regardless of the external environment. Moreover, switching to a plastic mouthpiece in these conditions doesn't significantly alter the sound quality of the instrument, making it a practical solution without compromising on performance.

Additionally, the option of a glow-in-the-dark plastic mouthpiece is quite innovative, especially for Buglers who need to perform in low-light conditions or during nighttime ceremonies. It not only adds a practical aspect in terms of visibility but also could add a visually interesting element to a performance.

Do not attempt to remove mouthpieces that are stuck in the horn. Seek assistance from a band director or music instrument technician to remove it.
