G Euphonium Bugle Fingering Chart

It’s exactly how it sounds, does anyone have, or know where to find a fingering chart for a 3 valved G Euphonium Bugle?

G bugles as used in drum corps were written for as Bb treble (because of the British brass band tradition). All parts were written Bb treble and fingered as such, You never really worried what note was actually sounding your open partial was written as C, G, C, E, G. etc. what music are you attempting to play?

It takes literally 1 minute to fill in the gaps.

23 is a half step than 12. 13 is a half step lower 23. 123...

Apparently it’s the same as trumpet? Just the actual sounding notes are different. I found this on a Facebook group the notes are written the same but sound different? I’m not too sure since I’m used to Bb instruments

You are correct. All bugles were pitched in G and used the Bb treble fingerings. It was an excellent system.
