Well...finally got around to calling Billy about a trumpet. Been wanting one for a while and I sure am glad I made the phone call to him. Even planned a trip to get some lessons from the master himself soon sense he doesnt live far from me !!!
Its a Ironwood trumpet with a set of #2,3 and 4 mouth pieces. It didnt take any time to have it running to my ear let me say. These things almost run theirselves. Top noth craftmanship too and from one heck of a fine gentleman. Thanks alot for the killer trumpet Billy !!!!

That is a very good looking trumpet.
-
Looks like a turkey killer to me.
-
Very nice. Awesome looking
-
Good looking trumpet Jeff.
How do you like the #2 mp?
I have 2 #3's (1 round and 1 flat) & a #4. I didn't play the 2 when I was there. Figured it might be a little too high. It should make some super kee's.

So that is the killer trumpet you were talking about, congrats Jeff, with the amount of time you spend in the woods, I am sure she will get a good work out!

Mark, the number two is higher pitched and kee kees well. the roll over on the yelp isnt as strong as a 3 or 4. I run a 3 most of the time, but like the 2 as well.

must be nice!! *up*

Mark---
the guys answered youe question---have been rasther tied up with a wife with on going virtigo......
the #2 kees very easy and I like savduck---am liking the rollover on #'s 3 and 4 a little more. The # 2 helps this greenhorn on not pulling too much air though....I am learning still ----its a very easy trumpet to run though
-
Hey Jeff, hope your wife gets a handle on that vertigo.
I'm pretty partial to the 4 for yelping and the 3 for kee-ing. I can get good kee's out of the 4 but if I'm not careful, the whistle wants to break over. I have found that by playing it one handed and cutting off almost all of the air, I can achieve the desired whistle. The 3 whistles like a champ.

been using them since the early 9o,s one of my early mentors *up* *up*
-
Congrats on a mighty fine horn! *dance*

Beautiful call. I am certain I have one made from the same stick.
I too have been using Billy's calls a long time. I bought my first one around 85 or 86.. Learned how to use a trumpet under his tutelage... darn fine man I am proud to call "Friend"..
Wish I has as many of Billy's calls as some, but I have "enough" to choose from... I intend to get more as time and funds allow.
Those that don't own one, get cracking!!!!!!!!!!!!! *gobble*

Here are my latest Buice calls- a matched set from '07 - possibly the last Cocabola trumpets Billy made. (he is allergic)..
Wonderful, gorgeous callers. 6" and a 5.5"er...
