Trumpets / Wingbones Forum / Re: Reasonably Priced Trumpet?

Last post by crow - January 04, 2026, 04:05:10 PM

At the recommendation of Gregg Massey and Turkeybuttocks i recently picked up a spindle trumpet by Steve Seppli.

Very easy trumpet to play and a great sound, one of the better trumpets I've ever played at any price and this is priced under 100.00.

Definitely a sleeper call maker, he has his internals figured out.

I wanna ask crow about the sack of corn call...

That's the call that replicates a sack of corn being poured into a trench. Still in development, working on getting it lighter in weight.

Going to call it the "Shake and Bake"

Snow is almost as stupid as chiggers.

Usually a 20ga but as a back up you jump to a 10?

Besides my shiny 12-gauge Beretta O/U that's more for wingshooting, the 10 is the only other shotgun I have. It was my original primary turkey gun.

I got my boyhood .410 back last year after 53 years of it being passed to other family members.  Been doing some small game hunting with it, it does bring back memories


It also patterns a very good 10" with tss 9's with the factory fixed full (maybe xfull)

The first spring i hunted with a wingbone, i had a "hen" answering and coming in strait behind me. Her yelps were clear with zero rasp. I was convinced it was somebody making fun of me  sounded like somebody on an old single reed diaphragm.

This was 1 week after a an old turkey hunter got shot twice on public about a mile from where i was so I wasn't moving around much. A real hen finally circled in front still yelping clear as a bell. 

Kept her there as a live decoy for 20 min or so and she never had a hint of rasp in her yelps, she also didn't call a gobbler in either, 
Don't know if she was imitating me yelping or if that was just her normal yelps, but it was the clearest yelps i can remember hearing

Winchester SX4.  I've used a lot of different make and model and for myself it's the best package.

1- Huge difference in just using this type of call in the woods, and working and practicing enough with it to be able to communicate and call up gobblers to kill with it consistently.  And then another thing to sound as much like a hen turkey as any in the woods, so keep in mind just because were all talking baseball that some are 5 tool players and some can barely catch.

2- If you're primarily focused on making long drawn Farmer yelps than anything else in the woods, that may be more to do with why you're not seeing the success that's been talked about with trumpets. More of what's being said than what its being said with.

3- The man talked about is simply the best caller alive with a trumpet. And yes he's better than Mark even though that shouldn't be important. There was a recording going around from Billy's shop a few years back and if you heard it then you know.

Last post by sasquatch1 - January 04, 2026, 12:56:40 PM

In a 10ga??? Basic heavy shot 6s or even lead 5s is plenty.

Never understood someone slinging tss out if a canon.

Usually a 20ga but as a back up you jump to a 10? Wouldn't take many tss shots to warrant a purchase of a cheap 20ga pump
