Christmas came early...Watkins yelper!
« on: August 15, 2013, 11:43:46 AM »
Received my yelper from Mr. Watkins this week and I love it!
I called him yesterday to tell him I got it and let him hear me run a few yelps on her.
We talked for a while and he gave me some pointers then he put me on the spot and asked me to run it again.
Talk about being nervous, let's just say it was not my best effort :)
One thing I must say is that Mr. Watkins is a true gentleman as he told me to call any time I had a question.

Anyway here she is! Fall season can not get here soon enuff!

Barry, that is a fine looking caller. Practice, practice,practice. If you can master those tube calls, you should be able to get into that trumpet...
