does anyone else make a mouth piece like that?

Trumpetyelper

John Dangerfield make his mouthpieces very similar.

Gentlemen:
The beak doesn't make this call. As Zach himself would say it's the caller not the call. I can rasp on the Farmer, Buice, Cox or Bott. The beak helps, but it is not the "secret"

mspaci

ok, whats the secret? Hand hold? Mike

DocHolliday

In my case(every trumpet caller runs theirs differently), it is position of call on lip and air flow. Now I just said a mouthful. It took me a year of near daily work to find it.

Agreed. To quote Rev. Farmer - " It is years of putting in the due diligence"

Here's what the secret is -

1. Find a call you like.
2. Practice.
3. Practice.
4. Practice.

Terry, now that you have the Farmer call what can you tell us about your preferred style and the rasp from Rev. Farmer's woodwind?

Well clearly my thoughts have changed since my original response. My ideas have evolved immensely since then and continue to do so. Read what Nitro posted above. Practice is the key, not the trumpet. The rasp from Mr. Farmer's woodwind comes from Zach, not his call. That being said, my Farmer call is very well built, is beautiful, and runs very good as well.

As far as my preferred style, I try my hardest to have a clean front and raspy backend with a little thump in it. I have dedicated much time since my original post to learn the trumpet, part of that has been listening to as many real hens as possible. My ears have evolved more than my skill, if that makes sense.

I understand what you're saying.  I'm really curious if you felt like the call and its style, specifically the mouthpiece really lend itself to create more rasp?

Hard to say since I could get rasp before I owned it...

I think it's possible that the notch exposes more of your lip to the airflow and helps with rasp. I don't think it will make up for a lack of skill.
