Looking to buy a good trumpet. Something that is user friendly and not going to break the the bank. I'm a tube call guy. I tryed commercial trumpet calls before and could yelp and cluck somewhat on them. Not good enough to hunt with. I was told that some are easier then others to call with. What would you recommend?

Post a budget as we dont know the size of your bank.

Try a Mero or Matt McClain.
Buice 6" with a #4 is always my recommendation for someone learning and new to trumpets. There will be 50 different recommendations but make sure to do your research.
$200 and under. I would like to start around there and see if I can play them then go up in price and quality from there.

Gregg Gwaltney Makes an excellent trumpet within your budget. He is Gregg on the forum here.
Ralph Permar makes several models under $200 and you could most likely get most of your money back if you found trumpets weren't for you. He has a website with all his info on it.
Ernie Fetters, Age, McAllister,Townsend an Martin all of these you can get for under $200

As already stated you will get many different answers.Look through some of the makers that get mentioned a lot in the trumpet Wingbone section on here.. Find a style you like the looks of and choose one. $200 will buy you a great trumpet. Practice as much as you can ,but give it some time before you expect too much it takes a little while to learn. You may be a natural and learn quickly. Enjoy your call!!!

Anthony Ellis Jordan style is one of my all time favorites.
If your on Facebook lookup Lewis Stowe he makes a really good trumpet for about $155
He won't let it go if it doesn't sound like a turkey , he's really good
Austy Bott is in your price range, and its adjustable. Search him here. There are trumpet players who use his exclusively now.

What Chris said. Practicing and practicing right is more important right now. Any of the guys mentioned make excellent calls. Once you really get the feel for running this type of call, you'll be able to run them all and be better equipped to evaluate what you like.
A very good starting point is to look up on YouTube, Marlin Watkins Yelper instructional #1 and Del Crow Yelper Instructions. They explain starting out and air control very well, IMHO.
Good Luck

I'd add to that the Ralph Permar video on YouTube. Just search his name.
Matt Mclain , Anthony Ellis and Ernie Fetters
I like my Matt Mclain trumpet. I also have a couple of cane yelpers from Kevin Rouse I like a lot. The river cane yelpers seem like the easiest to play for me. I am far from an expert but I can get turkeys to answer me on trumpets or yelpers but have not finished one with them yet. Have learned the last couple of years to shut up before turkey gets too close or use a soft playing push pin.
