Looking to pick up a trumpet to play with here during the upcoming off season.

I know absolutely nothing about them as far as wood, makers, and how much I should be paying. Can someone give me some general directions on what i should be looking to spend and some possible builders (local to OG are preferred)??

Any advice welcome!

Good, local builders already mentioned.

I'll add .......

EZ Tony Ezolt
fordhunt Kenneth Mullins
Daryl Daryl Slaton
shademountain Ernie Fetters
gonehuntin982 Mike Lapp
Seth41 Seth Hamon
Shoebuck Gene Shoemaker

A trumpet or Jordan from ANY of these guys will be KILLER.

You need to look at the list that Yoder put out there. I have a few and by no means am I good at playing 1 but Kenneth. Mullins is the easiest to get a sound out of.
Just my 2 cents.

Kenneth builds a great trumpet. And he is one stand-up human being !!!

Agree with the names above...also consider Marvin Breedlove (member)...love the trumpet he made for me and was a pleasure to deal with...learned a lot from our correspondence...also recommend putting the kids' college fund where it can't be touched...cuz this trumpet thing is addicting :you_rock:

Bought my 1st this month, Lee @ Misfire helped a lot and was great to work with. Be careful they can become addictive, already have my 2nd on the way, picked up a Mullins from spurs2bgobblin's call purge list. my name is Woodleyrd and I am an addict🤦🏼
