Very Rare on the World Market is this Panamanian Cocobolo.
Found this lil stash in a hardwood flooring house, been in the back since the late 80's or so the owner told me, not enough left for them to use, just been sitting there.
First Wing Bone M/P trumpet I have made as well.
If you are looking for a Hunting Call, you would fare well with these.
I have been Tweaking for the Final Internals for over-all Ease of play and Sound.
This is the final design for my internals, I can't put no mo Ease of Play, or Turkey into a call, without it being a Real Turkey in yer hand, this is it, and would be very, very hard for me to improve on in a Trumpet Call.
These calls, are avaiable as a #1 Set, or Individually with the #1 Wingbone M/P Trumpet, P.M for Details if interested. Thanks for the Look.

Thanks Mike.
Don't focus, or have not focused on the Looks Much, simple design used for well over 50 years, the Bell end like a regular Brass Horn end, has been used even longer I believe and for good reason, Playability.
Here are some pictures from the March issue of Field and Stream, 1929, showing Tom Turpins personal call's he used on a regular basis afield, the Brass Horn type bell, like a Coronet or clarinet, like is being used by many today, are pictured in that picture.
I Have been focused on sound, Ease of Play. To me, whole-heartedly, that is what I am here for, I am trying to produce the finest Hunting Call Trumpet's and Wingbones on the Planet.
Ya know what they say, if yer a gonna go, etc., etc.
Then consistently be able to repeat it.
Truthfully, I aint Playing around, mediocre, or as good, aint gonna cut it fer me.
Here is a Picture of the calls from that 1929 issue.

Weird is Right Mike, I was told when I got this issue, it was the Only one ever Printed. *wha* He must a Pulled the Wool Over my eye's, Ole Coot. ;D
Actually, I think you just recently purchased my Old Copy on Ebay from the Feller that Purchased it from me. ;)
Frank, I see you already have this thread and a few Comments posted up over on yer site, and yappin. Until you have played one of these New Trumpets I am Building, Dont be a doubting Thomas.
If you think Trumpet Calls can not be Improved upon these Day's, you are once again, Sadly Mistaken.

About the magazine...actually, I didn't buy it from anyone. I have 60 or so outdoor magazines that run from 1928-1934. They were in my Great Grandfather's basement when he died. It's really cool to read those old articles.
