Five New Trumpets

[ghost5]

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 like how you leave the training wheel off your trumpets. Just wish I still was not still using my training wheels.

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.

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.

You made some good looking trumpets Tommy.

I hate to think of them as training wheels, I like to think of them as consistency, much like the anchor point to a bow hunter.

Good looking calls.
