★Product Information★ 【Description】 This is a vintage Japanese-made signal bugle, also known as a "charge bugle," "wake-up bugle," or "military bugle." Unlike bugles used for musical performance, this one was designed for transmitting sound signals for purposes such as wake-up calls, lights-out, commands, orders, and alarms. Therefore, it does not have pistons to change the pitch. The scale consists of seven notes: Do, Sol, Do, Mi, Sol, Si, Do, from low to high, which are played by changing the shape of the mouth and the way one breathes. There are two types of winding for the tube: "two-turn" and "three-turn." This one is a two-turn type. The two-turn bugle has a shorter tube, so it produces a higher pitch than the three-turn type. Although it requires some practice, I have confirmed that it produces sound. (The mouthpiece has been disinfected, so please rest assured.) As a side note, the Maritime Self-Defense Force is the only one that still uses a two-turn bugle, so I speculate that this bugle may have been used by the former Imperial Japanese Navy. I have lightly wiped it, but it is being sold as-is. 【Material】 Brass 【Size】 32.6cm wide *Please note that there may be slight variations due to amateur measurements. 【Weight】 560g 【Condition】 I have stored this at home for many years since I acquired it, so please consider this when purchasing. 【Shipping】 I will wrap it in bubble wrap to protect it from water damage and breakage, and ship it via Mercari's anonymous delivery service (Takkyubin). 【Remarks】 You can purchase it immediately without a comment, but to prevent any trouble, please check my profile before purchasing.
