I thought Taps are played with no valves pressed? The FDNY and NYPD bugles had the 1 and 2 valve pressed I assume it was played with an E and up, any thought??

I have it from a military band member who frequently plays taps at funerals with military honors that depressing 1st and 2nd valves on a trumpet is the same key as a standard bugle.
