Bugle (chromatic attachment)
This chromatic attachment was introduced and patented by Mr. James Lawson, who was bandmaster of Royal Artillery Mounted Band between 1856-1886, with the intention to fit it to a specially designed bugle and give it the same compass as the cornet/trumpet. It is made entirely of brass and has three bottom-sprung piston valves, with metal pin guide and cork bumpers. The mouthpiece receiver has a ligature screw ferrule to receive an extra tuning bit before the mouthpiece.
