Title: Five New Trumpets
Post by: ghost5 on August 08, 2015, 09:06:49 AM: I have been spinning more trumpets to hopefully make enough to get to the Unicoi show and to have some for the table. Here are some of the last ones I did this week. I am turning some nice but plain blanks with less embellishments to sell at a lower price I call these the "Hunter's Series" just a good call to stuff in your vest and good for the new people that don't want to spend a ton.

The first pic is black ash burl, pepperwood and maple burl. Two with African blackwood mouthpieces and one cumary. The maple burl has a two part epoxy coating that has to be spun for 10 hours while it dries then 2-3 days to cure. Just did it to see if it would work. Looks like glass and it is hard as a rock.

Second pic is apple, cherry burl both with ABW mouthpieces. The apple is one of the Hunter's calls, nice wood and sounds good but not fancy by any means.

I can't remember when I stopped doing those. I don't have them on the calls I run so I guess I figured you guys that are way better than me don't need them. They do look good on a call though.

if the call fits my style of calling I do not need the lip stop.

Post by: KYTURKEY on August 11, 2015, 07:59:43 AM: I usually use lip stops, mainly because I am not the best on a trumpet. But, the call I got from Tommy, there was no need for a lip stop. It was kind of a natural fit if you will.

Good looking calls.
