Is there any good books or YouTube's to get started on how to call with a trumpet call ?
Del Crow has sound file I'm the sound file section.

I've always found this Ralph Permar video helpful, and if you're looking to buy a suction call to get started his improved Jordans will kill birds all day long. At $60 they're one of the best deals in call making. https://youtu.be/uZV7gXiYVq4

The three Marlin Watkins videos are also very good. Here's the first: https://youtu.be/momZ825uunU

I think Marlin explains technique very well in the first video. Definitely a great starting point!!
This video helped me. I watched crow, marlins etc but this one simplified it for me

Make sure that whoever you take advice from actually knows what they are talking about.

:laugh: Very true. Good tips above

I see a lot of people who try drawing way too much air through the call, thinking that it will get louder like a mouth call. That is not where volume comes from in a suction yelper of any kind. What I like to tell a beginner is, imagine you are drinking scalding hot coffee through a coffee stirrer. If you draw too much too quickly, you will burn your mouth. But, if you draw slowly through the straw, you will not get burned. That will give you the proper amount of air needed to produce turkey sounds. Also, you need to play around with the mouthpiece in relation to where you place it on your lips. Some people have thin lips, some fat. I prefer to run my trumpets just off center where my lips are thickest. Also playing around with the depth of the lipstop until you find that happy medium. Then, practice, practice, practice
Who do you recommend ??

I have been fortunate to have some tips/help from a couple builders that run one well. If you want specific names send me a PM.
Why don't you share the intel here? Not like it's some secret. It's three things-
A GOOD call
A lot of practice
A lot of dedication.

Best advice given to me long ago was heavy on Nitro's first point - start with ONE GOOD call. Master that one call before buying a whole bunch of different yelpers from different makers. That should shorten the learning curve.

[/quote] That's good advice for many calls. Tubes, diaphragms, pots, Cost's, or Turpin's

Now you tell me Paboxcall !!!!! I could have saved a fortune and I know it would have shortened my learning process. I started with quality calls I just purchased too many very quickly. This is very good advice just start with one...I do love all my calls though and really enjoy them. I have cut back on buying but I still get the urge to want to try all of the makers.

LOL. Here's what he asked - do I want to collect trumpets, or hunt with a trumpet? So I put them all down, and dedicated myself to learn on just one good call.

Smart man!!! Sometime when you are bored, I would love to hear you play that Austy Bott adjustable trumpet. Getting closer to the time I start bugging you again!!!

Was running it yesterday a good bit. Next time I'm messing with it I'll give you a ring. If you don't answer I'll leave a yelping voice message.

I collected for a long time too, but now I gather only what I will hunt, which is my Bott adjustable and Permar .45.

I do both, if I own it then it will go to the woods.

I actually enjoy helping folks get started on any type of yelpers, not just my own. It's a little harder doing it over the phone, but most people only need a push in the right direction and they start to get it pretty good.

I agree. If someone feels I know enough to help them then I will do whatever I can to help them, they may come away disappointed though. Lol
Here is a list with several videos I have saved on Youtube to try to help me improve, they are not all trumpet/yelper/wingbone related but all seem to be good videos. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbF6qMoJbTLzkdmzIrqSSxeTkJKKmXVg8
Great info
I got some advice that was hard to follow but I finally listened and it forced me to commit. I would take my trumpet hang it around my neck and us a mouth call because I had confidence in it. Then I was told to leave everything at home and just take my trumpet in the woods. It did work for me, but advice is a funny thing...
Good luck! Practice a lot and record yourself some.
Practice calling as soft as you can, most try way to hard when they are starting out. If it hurts your trying to hard. It take very little air to run a trumpet.
practice with a coffee stirrer and transition to a trumpet. if you can make turkey sounds on a stirrer you can play a trumpet. Plus a stirrer costs you nothing.
Listen to real hens, practice, listen, practice, practice, listen, practice, listen, listen, practice practice, practice, listen, practice
