The article about this bugle first appeared in the San Fransico "Chronicle" in October of 2002. You might get info from them on it. The Pentagon experimented with it but I don't know if they went ahead with ordering it.

Here is a link to a patent description of the instrument:

The inventor' name is Simon Andrew Britton, New York, NY.

The patent assignee is S&D Consulting International, Ltd., New York, NY.
