I love my pot and box calls and have gotten some good ones from great call makers. I want to give trumpets a try. Can anyone suggest a user friendly trumpet for a beginner if there is such a thing? I dont know anything about them but I want to learn. Thanks
I just started down the trumpet road but I have two from Twyatt that were very reasonably prices. I also have one from Joe Slaton that seems very easy to play, I probably should say when I got the Slaton I had been practicing so that may have had some effect.
Get a coffee cup stirring straw. Practice with that first. Cup it in your hands.
After that there is a bunch of choices. Starting out If recommend Brian Mero. Multiple Turpin award winner and his trumpets are still proceed for the hunter. They are easy to run.
Shag Hill Custom Calls has some beautiful, easy running trumpets at Unicoi. They are top notch with a great price. Kenny Pedelahore is awesome trumpet builder but that will come with a long wait unless you run across someone selling one. Can never go wrong with a Buice but it is an investment. Misfire has some excellent trumpets at Unicoi, I prefer his 2 mouthpiece.

There are many great choices, do yourself a favor and buy only one and play it for a solid year before you buy another one. I wish I would have done this but the addiction got to me and now I have quite a few calls and my collection is still growing. I love playing all of my calls but they are all different to some degree . I am still learning myself but feel I am getting better. I have plenty of confidence for hunting now.

Just saw a clip of your running a wingbone..... you're definitely sounding good!!!
Thanks Tony, I hope I do all the calls I post justice. I would love to hear you sometime . I love hearing other people play especially the ones with some time under their belt. Thanks again for the kind words
Buice delrin or misfire acrylic. Sound great, easy to learn on, good for all weather hunting. If you can't get the hang of it, easy to sell
