Anzac Day has been all over the news tonight, as it should be and The Last Post has been heard many times. But why don't they stick with tradition and play The Last Post on a bugle? All the renditions I have heard tonight are played on a trumpet and it just does not sound the same.
The sound of a trumpet is just too pure, whereas the sound of the bugle is very raw and sounds completely different.
So why do they play the last post on a trumpet? Doesn't anyone know how to play a bugle these days? Sacrilege!
