a match trumpet from Marlin Watkins
« on: July 27, 2017, 11:33:35 AM »
here is a great sounding trumpet that a great maker and mentor to callbuilding and hunting made for me. I have the matching trumpet to this one with the snakewood and blackwood reversed. It completes a great set from a great friend and callmaker....thanks Marlin --you will see this one in the woods when we get the dogs after some fall birds !!!

Another great call for your collection.  Congrats Jeff.  I'll be needing a trumpet from Marlin one of these days.  Maybe he'll bring some to Unicoi.

Very nice, Jeff!  I'm sure it's a killer too.
