I’d like to highlight yet another member of the trumpet family that so often goes over looked by composers and orchestrators. Namely, the G Trumpet. The reason it is often overlooked is that most people call it a “Soprano Bugle.” However, the instrument has nothing at all to do with the bugle/tuba family and is a true trumpet due to its narrow cylindrical bore.
