Phelps Bugle Tube

This is from the Contest Post
WORKFLOW:

I went ahead and did this two different ways:

1)I made a video and then transferred it to YouTube.  You can than use many online converters to convert the Youtube video to an .mp3 (google search).  What you can do is enter in the letters pwn right after the www. when watching the video and hit enter.  This will take you to a screen where all the available converters that YouTube supports are.  I used OnlineConverter.  Otherwise you can go to google and search for "youtube to mp3 converter" and use one of your choice.

2)I also used a program called Free Video Converter.  Here, you can convert any video to an .mp3 directly (It must be downloaded to your computer though).

I also advise that everyone uses a 256 kbps transfer to make sure that they are getting the highest audio quality.  Then just email me the .mp3 file with your name and user name attached.

Gotcha thanks.

Just went and picked up the cover from Grandma.   I need to lengthen the cover by 1.5" on the big end and tie on the 550 paracord strap and it will be ready to roll.

you kept the rounded top? I have the same exact bat but cut off the rounded top and put rubber around the rim

The design is all about back pressure which makes it easier to operate the reed and to transition up and down the vocal scale of a bull bugle.  This was prototype #3 and I made it to #12 before I decided it wouldn't get any better than this.

This tube sounds GOOD!

Got the length of the cover figured out.  My daughter wanted to help model the bugle (well at least my wife thought she did).

Now just need to tie the 550 cord on.
