Re: ANZAC Day - Last Post on clarinet?

American military funerals traditionally include 'Taps', which apparently serves the same end-of-the-day purpose as the Last Post.

At least for a few years during the late 1990's, due to a shortage of buglers, American military funerals used a digital device that fit in the bell of a bugle to sound Taps while a non-playing person held the bugle to his lips.

If you play in an orchestra or band, could you get a good trumpet player to perform the Last Post?

I would think the sound of a military bugle call being played on a bugle is more important to the service than the means by which that sound was generated. You might ask some veterans who are used to attending such services for their opinion on this matter.
