It's a sad time, but FYI OSAGE ROOST will be pulling the plug at the end of the month. It's been a great 15 years since the start, but it's hardly ever used now and time to move on!
I actually got my first Buice trumpet from Lewis Stowe in 1984. He had bought 12 from Billy and was just selling them for him. It cost a whopping 25 bucks ( cocobolo ). I have a set of green osage. The wood stump came out of the levy on the mississippi delta and was over 100 years old. I also had a duck call made from that block too. Osage is a GREAT wood!
Congrats on two fine trumpets from Mr. Buice..
