Which is easier to play as this would be my first?

I personally find the trumpet easier to play than wingbones. After you get efficient with one though, the wingbone is an easy transition.

Trumpet. More versatility and like Terry said it will help you with other suction calls.  I actually like cane yelpers and Jordan style yelpers even more than wingbones.  But trumpets first and foremost.  Everyone is different.

If a guy can PLAY an air operated call, it shouldn't make one iota of difference.

Go on and get one of each. If you are like most of us you'll end up with both eventually.  Trumpet seems easier to run than a bone to me, but if you can run one you can run the other.

A trumpet for sure, if your starting out learning to run these types of calls....

This was my firsthand experience.
A quality paddle caller will most run itself.  It just needs someone to carry it around the woods. Yoder409

I agree that if you can play one you can play either, but I would say that a good trumpet is easier to start out on.

I've been learning and playing the Trumpet the last few months. i'm getting better...lol ...you can teach a old man new tricks ...lol...

It would depend on the wingbone, whether it was a hen bone or gobbler IMO. I will say there is more versatility in a trumpet and it is easier for me to teach someone on a trumpet than on a wingbone.  Once you get the trumpet figured out, you will want a wingbone and a cane. Just a warning ;D

I agree, but will add, not all Trumpets, Wingbones or Jordans are created equal. Getting a suction type call from a maker who has a reputation for building easy to run calls pays great dividends.
