One review listed this as a large bugle capable of accepting an electronic bugle insert like used at military honors burials.
However this bugle although is of a larger size the bell area is not quite large enough to properly accept the electronic insert. Note the older style black in color electronic insert will partly fit into the bell of this bugle however the newer silver color insert is larger and will not fit at all.

A Bugle is Not Just a Bugle!
Amati makes a visually-appealing bugle like this that is much less expensive. Jan-Hendrik Berger of Germany made an exact reproduction of theAmerican Civil War Infantry bugle. I bought one in 2006 or 2007. He no longer makes or sells them. I don't know what a used one would cost today but I would be hesitant to sell mine. I find it easier to play in C without the pigtail, but you need the pigtail for full authenticity. If you want playability and sweet honey tones, I recommend the Getzen American Field Trumpet--with the Silver finish. It is in a case and worth the price, in my opinion.
