Being in the market for a bugle is interesting. There are no markings on it at all, is good quality brass, with a removable mouthpiece, the mouthpiece is a little small for adults. It would be perfect for a boy scout. It hits all the notes I have tried, but might need a bigger mouth piece to fit my adult sized face. It is a genuine rothco, and from there own site it shouldd cost over 60 bucks. So a good deal on here, and would get it for any scout troop to practice with. A serious bugle player might be disappointed with it, but for me, its great!
