1. An apparatus, comprising:
a baffle portion comprising:
a first baffle end comprising a first baffle aperture;
a second baffle end comprising a second baffle aperture; and
a baffle sidewall extending from the first baffle end to the second baffle end, the baffle sidewall having a substantially cylindrical and hollow form, the baffle sidewall tapering at a point along the baffle sidewall towards the second baffle end, the baffle sidewall having a plurality of protruding members located about the surface of the baffle sidewall; and
a mouthpiece portion comprising:
a first mouthpiece end comprising a first mouthpiece aperture;
a second mouthpiece end comprising a second mouthpiece aperture; and
a mouthpiece sidewall extending from the first mouthpiece end to the second mouthpiece end, the mouthpiece sidewall having a substantially cylindrical and hollow form, the mouthpiece sidewall tapering at a point along the mouthpiece sidewall towards the second mouthpiece end,
wherein the second baffle end is coupled to the second mouthpiece end to connect the baffle portion to the mouthpiece portion to form a tube from the first mouthpiece end to the first baffle end.
 
14. A bugle tube, comprising:
a baffle portion comprising:
a first baffle end comprising a first baffle aperture;
a second baffle end comprising a second baffle aperture; and
a baffle sidewall extending from the first baffle end to the second baffle end, the baffle sidewall having a substantially cylindrical and hollow form, the baffle sidewall tapering at a point along the baffle sidewall towards the second baffle end, the baffle sidewall having a plurality of protruding members located about the surface of the baffle sidewall;
a mouthpiece portion comprising:
a first mouthpiece end comprising a first mouthpiece aperture;
a second mouthpiece end comprising a second mouthpiece aperture; and
a mouthpiece sidewall extending from the first mouthpiece end to the second mouthpiece end, the mouthpiece sidewall having a substantially cylindrical and hollow form, the mouthpiece sidewall tapering at a point along the mouthpiece sidewall towards the second mouthpiece end,
wherein the second baffle end is coupled to the second mouthpiece end to connect the baffle portion to the mouthpiece portion to form a tube from the first mouthpiece end to the first baffle end; and
a handle portion comprising a first handle end and a second handle end, wherein the first handle end is coupled to the second baffle end and the second handle end is coupled to the second mouthpiece end to form a handle between the mouthpiece portion and the baffle portion.
 
20. A method, comprising:
forming a baffle portion comprising:
a first baffle end comprising a first baffle aperture;
a second baffle end comprising a second baffle aperture; and
a baffle sidewall extending from the first baffle end to the second baffle end, the baffle sidewall having a substantially cylindrical and hollow form, the baffle sidewall tapering at a point along the baffle sidewall towards the second baffle end, the baffle sidewall having a plurality of protruding members located about the surface of the baffle sidewall;
forming a mouthpiece portion comprising:
a first mouthpiece end comprising a first mouthpiece aperture;
a second mouthpiece end comprising a second mouthpiece aperture; and
a mouthpiece sidewall extending from the first mouthpiece end to the second mouthpiece end, the mouthpiece sidewall having a substantially cylindrical and hollow form, the mouthpiece sidewall tapering at a point along the mouthpiece sidewall towards the second mouthpiece end; and
coupling the second baffle end to the second mouthpiece end to connect the baffle portion to the mouthpiece portion to form a tube from the first mouthpiece end to the first baffle end.
