Keyed bugle in E flat
This instrument might be associated with the Cyfarthfa Band, one of the greatest and oldest virtuoso nineteen-century brass bands, founded in 1838 by iron magnate Robert Thompson Crawshay. It is a single-coiled, keyed bugle made of copper with brass trimmings (rim, braces, mouthpiece receiver) and keywork. It has seven flat, round-cover keys mounted in saddles. The G key is mounted on a saddle cross bridge. Nominal pitch: E-flat.
