Here is a new trumpet I have been working on for the past few months when I have a little time. I have tweaked the internals slighthly to make my calls even easier to play and given them a whole new look for 2010. I have field tested them extensively and a Zircote and Asian Ebony were instrumental in in the demise of one longbeard taken Sunday. On one of our outings, Jill also got to experience the thrill of hearing a gobbler sound off immediately to some calls from the trumpet and now understands a little more of why I am so into the turkey and it's language,and why I am so obsessed,lol, it was awesome to see her smile response to the gobbler. Thanks for looking,Dave

Those all look awesome Dave! Great work!

Absolutely love the design! Nice sleek and simple lines and just the right amount of accent that is functional! I know if you say they are pure turkey they are pure turkey! Congrats Dave! enjoy watching all call makers as they progress in search of that perfect sound and look that is distinctly theirs.

Nice job Dave on that Desert Ironwood trumpet. I can hardly wait to get this caller from you. Might even get to hunt some with it this spring. I also like the new design you have incorporated into your calls. They look very nice to me and I'm betting the turkeys will like it also. Thanks, Ralph

Thanks for the feedback everyone,I appreciate it. I enjoy making this type of call and believe them to be a great call in the field. Feedback, especially from guys using them in the field is valuable to me, and most of the changes I have made to my calls are a result of applying those suggestions.

Thanks a Bunch Dave. I received the Desert Ironwood trumpet from Dave Hodgkins yesterday in the mail. It will Talk Turkey all day long and is made to be taken to the turkey woods. He did a great job in making this caller for me and the fit and finish is excellant. The range of turkey talk that I get is very good up and down the scale. The call draws air nicely and you don't have to struggle to pull air thru the mouthpiece which is made of Buffalo Horn. Some of you that are looking for a very well-made trumpet call to add to your arsenal would enjoy getting Dave to make you one of his new design trumpets for you. I have about 8 days left in my turkey season here in Virginia so it will be going hunting with me.

Ralph, I have enjoyed talking with you and I hope the call serves you well in the field for many years. Be sure to let me know about your sucesses!
