Hi there! I'm a new reenactor hoping to be thoroughly in the authentic ballpark and I'm looking for a good source for bugle cords, or any information you folks might deem helpful in researching them. I'm not planning on knotting it on very fancily, just looping it around and tying it to protect the brass from my hand and to sling it over my shoulder. If there's any advice about where to source a good bugle cord and a good way to tie it I readily accept it. If it makes any difference, the kind of bugle I am about to come into the possession of(currently on its way!) is of the longer clairon pattern.
On that note, I'm interested in doing some more research on the actual variants of the various horns used by the Federal Army, I've been wondering about the more compact, stubbier, "officer's bugle"(later called "trench bugles" as well I believe), as I've seen it called. Under what circumstances would these have been issued rather than the longer clairon style, and was it exclusive to officers? I know that officers were expected, at least theoretically, to be able to play the various calls if need be. Any and all information that you think a rookie bugler may find useful or interesting is welcome. I am currently working on my primary research skills, so I come to you for assistance.
I thoroughly appreciate any advice the old guard can offer, and I thank you for your patience as this is my first AC post(yay!!!).
