and Finally--a VERY SPECIAL set from a great man and known callmaker...a presentation grade set from Ernie Fetters. Ernie was supposed to make me a hunting trumpet and showed up with this masterpiece. It is a Ivory/coco trumpet, and a Coco wingbone trumpet in his signature style with them set in a personalized display case that Ernie burned a strutter on the walnut case. Ernie added the personalization inside the case for me in Brass nameplates. Ernie, gotta say--this is one special piece to me my friend and thanks for the added touches to the set. I am in awe my friend....
