Welcome to the Garage Sale

This is Tara D., Age 12 performing "Boogie Woogie Boy" dance number
She Performs with "Dance Unlimited" of Phillipsburg, NJ

The bugle used is the (currently unavilable) Gunga Din bugle.  

We currently have "painted" bugles for dance routines...but you'll probably want to paint them another color!
 

 Needless to say, when selling these types of instruments,  a few items of variable quality starts building up.  This page will be used to sell items that can't or shouldn't be sold for new.  Everything on this page is as is and described that best I can.  They may be a return, dented, out of tune, etc and again read the description.   Think about using these for craft projects such as making lamps or as an interesting wall display.   Unless otherwise stated: EVERYTHING IN THE GARAGE IS AS-IS NO RETURNS CAVEAT EMPTOR ETC:

Gig Bags

We had some (Order Here ->) Gig Bags made up to replace  our current supply. One problem, they must of used a cornet  mouthpiece to design the side pocket and it's a bit to small for our Trumpet Mouthpieces.  So click here for a $20.00 (including shipping) which may fit a Cavalry Style Bugle, a cornet mouthpiece US Regulation or Rexcraft or Boy Scout Bugle, you could even fit some small bell pocket trumpets into the bag.  Note: This is NOT the gig bag being shipped with new horns.  The newer one is slightly longer allowing you to store the horn with the mouthpiece in (for those with and old stuck mouthpiece who are afraid of damage if removed).  Plus a bigger mouthpiece pocket.  

Centennial BUGLE

I have two returned Centennial bugles looking for homes.  Both Lacqured.  The first one was returned because the buyer, a professional trumpet player told me, he just had to have a Kanstul.  He had nothing bad to say about the Centennial, just that it wasn't a Kanstul.  The 2nd one went out to a VFW post.  They didn't even take the mouthpiece out of the wrapping.  The comment was "it's two small."  Nothing else.  My guess was that they bought it to put a digital contraption in the bell.  I never could get an answer to any of my e-mail questions.  I can include a case for and extra $50 or a Gig Bag for and extra $22 (includes shipping) just e-mail sales@scoutbugle.com for an invoice.

WISEMANN POCKET TRUMPET -   A Factory 2nd!!!

.  So you can save $100 on a brand new silver horn with some very hidden missed areas of plating.  Doesn't change the way it plays.  See below

Okay, here's a fun little novelty item.  1st off, a pocket trumpet IS NOT a piccolo trumpet which is pitched an octave above.  This is a regular sized trumpet where the tubing is bent more so that it fits into a smaller size.  There are several of these on the market.  Most of them are cheap e-bay/generic specials.  Those are cute, but the play is rather toyish.   I had a generic one, but when I had a chance to play this Wisemann , I found out it was an order of magnitude better..bigger tubing, better valves, MUCH larger bell and greater playability approaching that of a regular trumpet.   This is the large bell DPT-400,   the Canadian Brass used to sell this horn on their website.   I found this horn  great for travel being able to place it in the "carry on luggage" (With the commuters you checked it at plane side).   Okay, I once had to entertain the TSA agents who just HAD to see what popped up on their x-ray!  It does have pack straps so it's great for the bicyclist, scuba diver, or sky diver (okay maybe just the cyclist). 

Even though this item is in the garage sale you can return less shipping and 20% restocking fee. 7 day evaluation.

Here's the specs:

"I'm very pleased with my purchase of the Wisemann pocket trumpet.  It's a great little instrument.  I understand why some of the pros buy these for practicing while on vacation; I'll easily be able to take it with me when traveling.  While I'll play for the joy of it, I'm aiming to get good enough to sit in with my church's praise band sometime.  As a once-upon-a-time french horn player, I'm enjoying the challenge!"   [ Jeff bought the horn pictured above which is a garage item]

Jupiter Brigadier Bugle Out of Box

I can't remember WHAT the story is on these horns.  I have two open boxed Brigadier bugles.  One looks like I took it out as a demo horn, no other markings, no reason to be out of the box..  The other seems to be a return, but I have no idea why it might of been returned.   We're on on our last few Brigadiers since Jupiter stopped making them and we bought out what was left of their inventory.  So get them now, or never.  I can include a case for and extra $50 or a Gig Bag for and extra $22 (includes shipping) just e-mail sales@scoutbugle.com for an invoice.

 Painted bugles - These were an experimental run of bugles designed for the young player.  The paint was supposed to be a tinted lacquer but it's more like they were dipped in a can of Rustoleum.  Some of the paint might be chipped away, and the plastic bag they came in sorta of melted a little bit onto the finish. Anyway these are full size G-F bugles,  which completely failed play test.  Would be great in a flower display for the holidays. May be spray painted to color for dance routines, or whatever else you want to try.   e.  No color guarantee at this time, but ask and I'll try to do my best, and delete colors as they sell out.
