Title: Grand Nationals - Got Lucky
Post by: gergg on February 16, 2019, 01:55:20 PM
Better to be lucky than good....lol....I had never sent a trumpet(or any call) to the NWTF Grand National Call Maker competition, but this year I did and was very fortunate to have one place 3rd. I was very excited (and surprised) and wanted to share it here. This trumpet was Cocobolo with a Delrin mouthpiece. I am already working on improving my work for next years event.......Thanks for listening and allowing me to share my excitement here.......Greg Gwaltney

Congratulations on the 3rd place finish.  Just got mine from you and it sounds like it will call up a turkey.  I am about to find out in roughly 30 days.
