The bugle doesn't look long enough to be in GG. Here's a good pic of it below:

Most contras sounds rather stuffy...the only one I've ever played that didn't was an old King that had had a third valve grafted on from a donor horn.

if you cut all that crap out of the middle, you might have a decent small bore F or Eb bass tuba, if you could find a decent valve set to cut down and match. I would give it a shot if I came across one (for CHEAP).
