Cannot help with the mouthpiece as all of my mouthpieces are straight. I would play it however i could produce the best turkey calls. You may want to play with the lip stop as well, small adjustments for each player can go a long way. I personally like to have my lip stop pretty close to the end of the mouthpiece.
Also, you are drawing too much air. Less is more. You will get sharper sounds if you tone down the air intake.
THERES ALOT OF PRACTICE AND DONT DRAW REAL HARD AND WHEN U CUP THE BELL THAT MAKES ALOT OF DIFFERANCE IN SOUD ITS NOT ALL THAT EASY BUT DOABLE
IVE BROUGHT A FEW GOBBLERS IN FROM WAY WAY OFF .. GOOD LUCK
The angle goes down, i would mess with your hands and make sure you're not cutting the air off. With all these trumpet makers on this website, they should be able to help you.
Slow down a little and relax. You are close to getting the sound that you want. Practice.
Justin,
Jobugg was taught by one of the best trumpet players out there. He knows what he is talking about and pretty good himself.
Don't get discouraged it takes practice.

I didn't practice it today..gonna pick back up tomorrow evening after work if I ain't too wore out. Any time the boss tells me to come in an hour early and to make sure I wear my climbing boots, I know I'm about to get a workout. I just wish the trees grew in the air conditioning.
You know, the only angled mouthpiece trumpet I have is by Frank Cox, I play the angle down on my bottom lip. That is what is comfortable for me. When I started out I practiced until my lips were sore, not a good idea. Simply run it every day for a short period, working on a calling sequence. By next season you will know you can kill a turkey, as the confidence will be there, and so will the sound. The hardest part of running a trumpet for me was to elongate the yelp so that it sounded real, as rollover in a trumpet can be too fast if you are not relaxed. Good Luck
If your lip gets sore from running a trumpet or wing bone then your clamping down on it to much. Relax your lips and draw the air slow and easy paying attention to how your cupping your hands so as not to close off the air flow causing you to draw harder. Also try moving the mouth piece to a different spot on your mouth. Some run them in the middle of the lip. I play mine on the right side of middle. That's where it feels right for me. Also adjust the lip stop to where it feels right for you. To short and the fat of your lip could block the air flow.
One piece of advice I was given helped me tremendously. Blow up your cheeks and let the air slowly leak out. Where the air naturally leaks out is where you should run the call. This made a huge difference for me.

What, I don't understand, I thought this was about trumpet calls.

The spot from side to side on your mouth that naturally leaks out air first is where he is saying you should place trumpet mouthpiece.

Yes that's what I'm talking about. Where to put the mouthpiece.
762, Sorry, after I wrote the message I realized what you meant, makes sense.
Justin
You have gotten some good advice here. The angle goes down and you are drawing to much air to hard. Let the call play itself. Try to think slower if that makes sense. Think about what that turkey in front of you wants to hear. Give him a soft yelp and a cluck. Like you really don't want him to hear it. That is the speed of air you are looking for. That call may not do it for you. If all else fails come see me.

Sounds like a gobbler in the background??
I play my angled trumpets with short side down. I noticed your lip stop is lat across. I find flat lip stops hard to run sometimes because i like to run my trumpets at an angle instead of square/straight with my lips. Its may be simply a lip stop adjustment until it becomes more comfortable.
