Okay, so I've been thinking about trying to learn how to play my dad's baritone bugle, but I have no idea how to. If anyone had a good fingering chart for it, that would be great. The bugle has one valve and a trigger. I am a natural flute player and percussionist, so this is my first time playing a brass instrument. Needless to say I am very confused. Call me a noob, I don't care, as long as you get me a fingering chart for a 1 valve baritone bugle. Please help. :)
We learned the scale like this on a G-D horn with no rotor just a valve. O open X valve closed O X O X O X X O

Starting below the staff in treble clef - G - open (yeah, intonation heck) C - open D - valve (gap) F# - rotor G - open or valve (gap) Bb - Rotor valve B - Rotor OR valve (pick it) C - open C# - both D - valve D#(Eb) - rotor E - open F - valve F# - rotor G - open G#(Ab) - both (yech!) A - valve or rotor Bb - open or both B - valve or rotor C - open anything above C - dial it in. After seeing this, you'll know why going from G-D to G-F was such a radical improvement. After playing on this relic, you'll really appreciate what some of those corps had to do to sound good.
