[TPIN] Help Identifying Trumpet Call/ Churchill Funeral

[Andy Del]

This is the British army - reveille. What those on the British side of
things usually hear as reveille is actually officially named 'Rouse'. They
are used for the same purpose however, just by different regiments/bits of
the army. No relation to the US reveille.

The trumpet used would be an Eb field trumpet. Trumpet bell, quite unlike a
traditional bugle. Pigs of things to play (I had to a lot back in the army
days)

Cheers

Andy

Short peace of history here.

The trumpet call played at the funeral of Winston Churchill.

Let me know if the link is broken.

Not being familiar with British calls, what is this call?

I included the short narrative before the call for interest.

What instrument was it played on?  It appears to be in Eb however I  
digitized this
off an old vinyl album and my turntable may not be at perfect pitch  :  
- o

Wonder who was playing this?

Maybe some of our friends across the pond that are not watching the  
Super Bowl
can give some insight.
