I have used a wingbone several years now. never really played with a trumpet. my question is , if you use a wingbone well , how hard is it to use a trumpet. I am going to add a trumpet to my arsenal and im sure with practice I will be effective , but what I want to know is the difficulty level between the 2. just looking for opinions. thanks

If you can run a wing bone you can run a trumpet. It might be a tad easier as well.

Get the trumpet with a wing bone mouth piece. One of my favorites.

Can you point me in the right direction on getting one? Thanks

In my experience there are a solid 10% or so callers that prefer the wingbone shape mouthpiece to a round turned mouthpiece on a trumpet. 

If you use a wingbone and are fluent with it then you should have the basics of air control and the trumpet is played the same way.  You'd probably have to try two different trumpets to really get a feel for what you like.  One with a wingbone mouthpiece and one with a turned mouthpiece. 

Hope this helps, and I have made many of both in the past.
