11″ Brass Cavalry Bugle | Civil War Reproduction

11″ Brass Cavalry Bugle | Civil War Reproduction The 11″ Brass Cavalry Bugle is a faithful reproduction of the field instruments once used to relay commands across cavalry units during the Civil War—built not as a decorative imitation, but as a working piece that carries both presence and purpose. Compact in size yet unmistakable in form, it suits reenactment, display, and practical signaling use with equal ease. Constructed from solid brass with a matching brass mouthpiece, it produces the clear, carrying tone expected of a traditional signal horn while maintaining the visual character of period equipment. The proportions are true to historical examples, with a modest bell flare and tight wrap that sits comfortably in hand or among other field gear. It reads correctly whether slung at the saddle, used on the field, or placed on a shelf. This is not a modern band instrument built for technical range or precision playing, but a straightforward signaling bugle—best suited to calls, demonstrations, and historically grounded use. With a bit of practice, it does exactly what it was originally meant to do: cut through distance with a clear, simple voice. What it’s for: Adding an authentic signal instrument to Civil War and cavalry reenactment kits Theatrical productions, film work, and historical demonstrations Display in offices, studies, or period-minded homes Gifting for collectors, history enthusiasts, and reenactors Materials & Construction: Solid brass body with matching solid brass mouthpiece Traditional cavalry-style wrap and compact form Polished finish suitable for display or field use Working reproduction instrument Specs: Product: Brass Cavalry Bugle Style: Working Civil War reproduction signal horn Material: Solid brass Overall length: 11″ Width: 5-1/4″ Bell diameter: 4″ Care & Field Notes: This is a reproduction instrument, not a modern orchestral bugle Brass will naturally develop patina over time if left unpolished Wipe dry after handling to maintain finish if desired Best suited to signaling, demonstration, or display rather than extended performance use Pairs well with: cavalry sabers, reproduction drums, field gear, historical flags, and other Civil War-era equipment.
