How to Use the EZ BuglerUpdated 4 months ago
Directions for using the EZ Bugler Mouthpiece and Bugle Tube:
Getting Started
- Lightly touch your lower lip to the latex; don't press too hard.
- Begin with a soft buzz and gradually tighten your lip while increasing airflow to climb octaves smoothly.
Adding Voice Inflection
- This call requires more voice inflection than a standard diaphragm reed.
- The small hole means your voice inflection is key to creating an authentic sound.
Chuckles & Grunts
- Puff your cheeks and lightly touch your lower lip to the latex.
- Use a "puh, puh, puh" motion with your lip to create the chuckle sound.
Lip Ball Technique
- Hold the call sideways.
- Drape your upper lip over the top while pressing your lower lip against the latex, then buzz.
Creating Realistic Bugles
- Avoid flat, monotone calls—add emotion by varying lip pressure, voice inflection, and air pressure.
- Experiment with intensity to make your bugles sound dynamic and lifelike, which excites bulls in the field.
