The Big Parade, Raphael Osheroff and Robert Zinko, undated. This is Part One of an article about Bachs bugles. It discusses his early bugles, which were made when he thought he could make some money producing them. Part Two features some special bugles he made later in his career for the United States Army Band. Bach was both an engineer and a musician, but he had to learn to be a businessman. After trying his hand at bugle making for awhile, he began to complain about a basic problem. Nobody wanted to pay a lot of money for them. Bachs normal business approach was to make high quality instruments and sell them at a price higher than that of his competitors. He found that musicians were willing to pay for quality. Instead of following that business strategy in the bugle market, Bach tried a middle of the road approach. He did not offer Stradivarius Model bugles, choosing less expensive construction instead. His prices were not low enough, however, to match those of his competitors. With this in between strategy, he did not sell many bugles. Bach began producing instruments in 1. World War I.   Military style bugles from that period were a little more far ranging in design than the standard Bb ceremonial bugles used today. First, there were the so called regulation bugles, which were first defined by the military in the 1. Century.   Most of these bugles were pitched in G, and by pulling out the tuning slide, in F. The military also used signal bugles. These were pitched higher, in Bb, and were designed to be used on battlefields. They were coiled tightly so they could be carried in a small pouch. Bach is reported to have been in charge of an Army bugle school during World War I  Reference 2, so he understood military requirements. Express Scribe Serial Number' title='Express Scribe Serial Number' />The potential market for bugles increased after World War I as the demand for other kinds of bugles grew rapidly. Veterans turned in droves to fraternal organizations such as the American Legion. There was an explosion of drum and bugle corps sponsored by these groups. The corps needed bugles. As Bach entered the instrument business, the bugles used in drum and bugle corps were beginning to evolve into evermore complex instruments. The corps wanted bugles that played in different octaves and keys. The use of crooks became commonplace. Valves began to appear, although their use was delayed for awhile by rules committees adjudicating competitions. The music and field presentations became more spectacular, and the competitions became very popular. Reference 3  As the demand for bugles grew, Bach recognized that money might be made on this front as well. Many companies made bugles, and they sold an increasing variety of them. Despite the obvious competition, by the time Bach published his first instruments catalog, he clearly intended to market bugles for both military and drum and bugle corps use. This is evident in a page from a 1. Bach instrument catalog see below. Figure 1 Bach Bugle1. Catalog. Bach called his bugles military trumpets. He thought that this was necessary to avoid confusing them with European bugles, which were actually fluegelhorns. In addition to bugles, Bachs first catalog offered a wide range of instruments in multiple keys. He also offered three different models Stradivarius, Apollo and Mercury. This expanse of instruments raises some questions. Did Bach have some of each of these instruments on hand when he published his catalog  Did he make prototypes beforehand to ensure that he could in fact make all of them  While the answers to those questions are incomplete, things are a little clearer in the case of his bugles. With no immediate orders in hand, it appears that he did not make any bugles right away. He may have assumed that if you could make trumpets and cornets you could make bugles. Nonetheless, he knew how much he was going to charge for them as they had a price in his catalog. Exactly when did Bach make his first bugles  There is no record of the date, even an approximate one. Moreover, his early production numbers cannot be determined from the shop cards Reference 1 despite their accuracy for other types of instruments. Similarly, the lowest serial number for a bugle that actually made it into the public domain one way or another is unknown. Here are some facts and comments to help explain the situation. The lowest range of serial numbers that might have been assigned to bugles begins with serial number 3. That particular shop card is missing from Bachs files. In examining the cards above that number, it is possible to conclude that the next 9. There are some surprising cases to consider between those extremes. I celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. I loafe and invite my soul. The first shop card whose serial number was clearly intended for a bugle is 3. That shop card is shown below. Figure 2 Shop Care 3. Windows Vista Lite 64 Bit. It is obvious that this card represents a trumpet although the serial number originally was going to be assigned to an Apollo bugle. At this point, readers might conclude that bugle 3. Shop cards 3. 50 through 3. Three of the 1. 4 cards 3. The remaining 1. 1 cards are in two formats. Seven of those are in the format shown for 3. All of these seven cards indicate that the serial numbers were intended for bugles but were eventually assigned to other instruments. The remaining four cards are in a newer, more comprehensive format. They are replacement cards that Bach routinely used in later production. None of these cards indicates that their serial numbers were ever intended for bugles. Based on those observations, the authors assumed for a while that none of the 1. Then the unexpected happened, as it often does. One of the authors met Michael Corrigan, the owner of an Apollo bugle with serial number 3. The existence of bugle 3. Bugle 3. 55 has the lowest serial number of any bugle that has been located so far. The authors were anxious to see what the shop card for bugle 3. That card turned out to be in the newer format see below. Figure 3 Shop Card 3. Taking this new piece of evidence into account, the authors believe that most if not all of the 1. They cannot tell how many bugles were made and assigned serial numbers from among the fourteen. The very next card in the files, 3. It indicates that serial number 3. Apollo bugle.   It is the only card the authors found that clearly indicates its serial number was assigned to a bugle and no other instrument. Mayo Greenleaf Patch'>Mayo Greenleaf Patch. The card has the name Goldman on it. Was this a bugle made for Edwin Franko Goldman  If so, Bach would want to keep a record of it, possibly in the form of card 3. Shop cards 3. 65 through 4.

At this point, the authors only note that at least some of them were associated with actual bugles. Bach gave at least five bugles to children in his family. Two of those are featured in this article, and they have serial numbers within that range.
