Blank's, have led to these 3 Callers.
The First Straight Barrel, is the #1 Proto, of Morado, Very Basic design, but too close to others, so I have changed the Black wood, and Pink Ivory, both have a Different Barrel, and is the design I will stay with if there are no Objections from others.
The Pink Ivory is for my Daughter, and has already been Given to Her.
The calls are/have, Caroboa Mouthpieces, Caraboa Turned Beads, Solid Brass ferrules, and the lanyard Material is a 750# Breaking strength that will not rot, mildew, unravel when it is cut, and is also UV protected, these calls are built to last a Lifetime and More.
Without Sounding Vain, these Calls will rival the Finest Trumpets made in sound today, it has taken a lot of time, and error, to get here.
Sound, Tone, Playability, and Air Flow, are all made with ease.
If you look close, you cans see that each lanyard hook up is different, 1, 2, and 3, strands.
I like the deeper/wider 3 strand, and will go with that, each bell, and each body, each mouthpiece has a different tip as well.
I have decided on a certain style of CUT, that I have yet to see on anyone's, and they are hand finished off the Lathe, shaped by hand, so they will now come with that style.
Had to find the right marriage of them to come together.
These calls are something I have been Working on for Quite some time, and I am very proud of them.
I hope you like them.

I am dying some of the Lanyard thread tonight, to a Forrest Green, I will see if it runs in the next few days, it is not White, it is a Very Mild Beige color.
The Beads are turned from the same stock of caroboa that the Mouthpieces are turned from.
All comments will be greatly appreciated, Good Hunting.

Jeff, you're doing great, especially if it only took 27 blanks,,lol! The main thing is to focus on the sound as you've done, your style will evolve as does the progression of any call maker. RkLu I still get excited to hear a turkey gobble or a hen get all cranked up with my trumpet, that's what it's all about.
-
Jeff, looks like all the effort paid off. Very nice!

Very good looking trumpet's. With the help from them three they sound awesome I bet. I think it's great that those three guys are keeping the traditon of fine trumpet making alive by handing down the knowlegde to some of new guys. Thanks for sharing, Mike
