I posted this just a bit ago and it vanished.... ???
Anyways... Over the last 2+ years I've begun to accumulate some trumpet calls. Some from smaller names. Some from bigger names. All have been really good horns.
My skill level isn't stage-worthy. But, I ain't horrible, either. I could comfortably hunt every single trumpet I have.
But, last week, a trumpet landed in my mailbox that is now THE most incredible playing one I own !!!
If you do not yet have a trumpet from Mike Robare (the X-Call Company) from Florida.... you need one. (He makes awesome box calls, too !!)

World Champion Box Calls too. And he might even be able to play them too. He is also a great guy and turkey hunter. Check out his stuff on facebook. Z
If it plays anything like his aluminum jordon you got a good one! Congrats!

Was just looking.....
Send Mike a friend request on Facebook. He runs sles and specials on his page. Some really nice calls at some very tempting prices.
Congrats on a fine looking caller Don, you will enjoy sitting in the house on all those cold days playing that call... all it has to be is turkey approved
Looks awesome!

Love the snakewood. I got a snakewood from him at NWTF this year. They are definitely players.

Give a report when you've gotten to play it some.
Betcha you like it !!
Mike is a FINE gentleman, and his turkey calls are exceptional!!!
Any tips on learning to play this thing? Youtube videos? This is the first trumpet I've ever even seen in person. I'm just trying to get any noise out of it at this point :)
Lewis Stowe, William Lester and Ralph Permar have a good videos on running trumpets. They are all on Youtube. There is a free program site called Y2Mate (https://y2mate.nu/en-zEjR/) that lets you download Youtube files on your computer to make them easier to play. You just tell it you want .mp4 (video) or .mp3 (sound only) and download.
After that, it's like the old saying. How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, Practice, Practice.
Thank You!

Marlin Watkins, Ted Pete Peter's and Del Crow (Savduck) have good utube instructional.
Del can play any type of call anywhere any conditions. He is a great guy, and his mouth calls are killer as well. Z
Sharp snake horn
