Seems like either cooling or warming the metal might free the marble. Please report back! Would warming the bugle gently help? Seems like either cooling or warming the metal might free the marble.

Being a mama is hard work. Not as hard work as being a kid, perhaps. Ah, forget it, who am I kidding, it's totally harder to be the mama. And, I'm sorry, Daddio... sharpies as war paint? Are you in charge of bath time? Holiday photos? That's a holiday card I'd like to see. Oy. Being a mama is hard work. Not as hard work as being a kid, perhaps.

(Bearing in mind I am a former French horn player, not a bugle player. grain of salt, blah blah blah.) Depending on where it's stuck, they should be able to get it out by taking the slide out or the valves (they should unscrew fairly easily) and poking it from the other side with a cleaning snake brush (this is not what this is called for real, I don't think, but it's a long skinny springy thing with bristles on both ends). Actually, you might be able to do that if you have the snake brush (generally available where horns are sold). Good luck with it. Yikes on the marble!

Repair costs are often related to the amount of parental repair effort, number of parental repair attempts, and the number of designer anythings the customer wears to the shop. So, no Gucci or Prada mananna.

I'm not really sure how I know this, but I don't really know how I learned to repair violins either. I hope he isn't overly upset, the bugle should be just fine. Sharpie markers make great war paint too. A mangled horn is actually repaired by smacking steel balls of various diameter into it.
