Looking for a Contra Bass Bugle
I recently became a Boy Scout Leader and thought it would be fun to take a contra bass bugle to summer camp to play reveille and the like (don't want to take my good Tuba). I thought I would look for an old Contra Bugle in GG with two valves. If anyone has one for sale (cheap) let me know.

Noe if you want a good horn at a good price, but not cheap, I know where you can go.

How could I forget about the senior corps...
Several of them are going to Bb this year (well, the rich ones, anyway), so they will be looking to unload their G contras.
You probably won't get the best price from them, though. Cheaper horns can be found elsewhere. But, it's more likely to be in good working order if it's been used recently.
Dig around http://dcacorps.org/ and see what you can find.
