Is there a proper name for those round Christmas bugles (instrument)

Asked by DarlingRhadamanthus (11273points) June 10th, 2011

There is a certain type of (instrument) bugle that is often used as a Christmas decoration and it is in the shape of a full circle. I think it may be the type of bugle used in fox hunt…perhaps?

Is there a specific name for this type of bugle?

@hawaii_jake is most likely right. If not, maybe a french horn?

A French Horn has valves on it similar to those on a trumpet.

The other doesn’t have valves and is therefore more similar to a bugle in that there are no valves on a bugle either.
