Many a-time have I used a 10 ft length of electrical conduit to show
how bugle calls can be massacred.
Never tried a mouthpiece, never tried a flared bell.
Either of these additions might make it a way more pleasant listening
experience.
So many new things to try.
Hard-drawn 3/4 " copper water line works too.

A fun exercise is to get a brass mouthpiece and some straight tubing
on the order of a meter and try to play it. Then fashion a bell (or
use a medium sized funnel) on the end and play again. Check the ease
of playing and the overtone structure of each setup and compare.
It's amazing what the flared bell does.
