Chris Tune request - The trombone sized bugle, or "Trombugle" ; an overall view of the horn. This horn is pitched in Eb. This means that the bugle calls revolve around the major key of Eb major. Most trumpets are pitched either in Bb or in C. Trombones are based upon Bb, but an octave lower than the trumpet. |
