Steve Smeed has made a variety of unusual and sometimes whimsical bugles.  They are instruments of a combination of extruded, slab-built, wheel-thrown and slip-cast sections, assembled and fired as one piece.  They all start out with a basic bugle design and then they evolve into a variety of instruments with tubes, chambers and mouthpieces.
