Title: Trumpet tips - what's your preference?
Post by: paboxcall on April 05, 2015, 05:36:12 PM
I have trumpets with rounded tips, angled tips, and one that's shaped similar to a wing bone.

What's your preference and why?

Me, I prefer an angled tip, especially for fall hunting (easier I think to hold a "kee" note).  Though I prefer the angled tip, my regular hunter trumpet is a Hegler with a rounded tip, as its just hard to beat that trumpet for control.

Never seen much difference myself.

I think the OD sould match up to the shape of the caller lip. I know some like a smaller tipped mouthpiece and some like a larger tipped mouthpiece. I can run a smaller tip better. Go with the one that feels right for you and the more you run it the more you will be able to do with it.
