Title: Gregg's Desert Ironwood Burl
Post by: beardhunter87 on April 19, 2019, 07:01:24 PM
Hey guys.  I wanted to make a review because I was honestly very happy with this trumpet. 1st of all you can see in the pictures the craftsmanship is top of the line! I knew he knew how to work with wood, as you can tell , but the sound also is great. Pure Turkey and the hollowed bell is a great touch I think helps. Will be with my tomorrow morning. A+++ these pics dont do it justice. Call Gregg  you wont be disappointed.

Also I'm making a sound file soon.

I called in a Gobbler today with Greg's desert ironwood. It was a hard right and my oldest son didn't see him so we didn't kill him, but Greg's call sure sounded sweet echoing across the valley

Well 1st day in the books from Missouri at my private property. Add this yelper and a Woodhaven ninja hammer, What's the most action packed day I've had in a couple years. This thing sounded sweet in the woods and right at 12:30 I should have sealed the deal two come in gobbling without a hen as my luck would have it, My shot gun misfired a shell. The good Lord wanted someone else to experience what I experienced with that Turkey so he lives another day. Well until tomorrow  Maybe :drool:

FYI.....Les received this Ironwood Burl and accidentally posted his thoughts/comments in Beardhunter87 Burl thread. The thread below is actually Les's trumpet.

Here is my attempt to sound like a turkey. I used 2 different Desert Ironwood Burl Trumpets, and 2 different playing styles......tried to make one recording higher pitched, you might be able to hear that in the 2nd recording below. I am approximately 35 yards from the recorder, facing away and playing into a small hardwood bottom behind my house.....Take care...Greg
