Finished these two up yesterday, Snakewood and ABW, some of my favorites. Snakewood is a tricky wood to turn, slow and easy does the trick. Love a Snakewood trumpet, but ABW is old reliable, turns consistently and always sounds fantastic.

Two fine yelpers. If anyone is wondering how they sound I'll tell you awesome. Very easy to run and full of turkey at a great price.

Turning SW always hurts my head and my heart. Both are awesome looking though Greg!
