Why on earth would you need one?

I'm wondering if that thing would change the pitch of the bugle. Rick??

There would still be a set of resonace coupling just like there is with megaphones, but I'd guess it would have minimal influence on the playing characteristics. I guess I could get a large sheet of paper, make a huge cone and actually test my hypothesis out. Sounds like fun!

Rick? Help? You're so much more eloquent than I'll ever be at this stuff.

This would be my inclination as well.......what what do I know....

Because they're all actually going to try it!

Not only am I not Rick Denny, I've never even played him on TV.

Two things come to mind, though.

1.) It's a bugle, playing by itself, so it doesn't have to tune to anything.

2.) If the bell and cone were sufficiently close to make it act like an extended bell, then it is my understanding that the flare (if wide enough, fast enough) has minimal impact on the over-all length. Take a sousaphone played without the bell, as an example. Not loud enough, but not significantly higher, either.

Not significantly unless you seal the space between the bell and the megaphone.

And the shape is probably so non-resonant as to have little effect on the tuning of the bugle.

Rick "thinking it probably affected the tone but that nobody cared" Denney

Well! Tell us more. Inquiring minds want to know.
