Amazing calling by Mark Prudhomme there. For those here that can call like that on a trumpet I would suggest sticking with it in the turkey woods! 
...For the rest of us, might be wiser to stick with the easier calls to use. Personally, I am looking for the gobblers that like the "braying donkey" sound that I am really good at!   

That's the thing. You don't have to be able to call like that to kill turkeys. Obviously, the more effort you put into anything pays dividends. The biggest mistake one can make with yelpers (I made it) is comparing the sound to other calls. Let the turkeys do the comparing.

Exactly EZ.  Take a dozen different calls with you to the woods and let the turkeys decide.  Many limit their offerings and wonder why they can't get a GOBBLE!  Some days we all get skunked but if you only use ONE bait to catch a fish (Turkey), you will get skunked more often than not.

I like trumpets for plain yelps, kee kees, tree talk, clucks and squealing. I like box calls for assembly yelping and hard loud cutting, and pot calls for purrs, clucks, soft talk and cutts. So for me, I use different types of calls depending on the circumstances.
I like carrying at least one suction call, one pot call and one box call at all times.

That's more along the lines of how I view calls.  I like certain ones for certain types of calling.  I always carry a suction call, a few diaphragms, and one pot call.  I have several wooden trumpets, mainly because it's my preferred way to display dense, heavy woods used for calls.  Wooden trumpets have also performed well for me in the field.  Wingbones and cane yelpers are easier to run for me to just pick up and run though.
