Have him check out local BSA (Boy Scouts) troops. Sometimes they can get them (or know where) relatively cheap for you... But you don't have to have a bugle, a regular trumpet works just as well (if not better for newbies). Also have him sign up with BAA (Buglers Across America) as they are always looking for people to play TAPs around larger cities, etc. If you need anyhelp, send me a PM.

Thanks
