Surprise Gift
« on: February 11, 2016, 07:39:24 AM »
My wife gave me a surprise gift this past weekend. We were together with some family and I did not see it coming. She gave me a Natural Addiction African Blackwood with buffalo horn mouthpiece trumpet.



I have been wanting one for a while now but with a 2 yr old it is hard to gather the extra funds sometimes. My wife contacted Del and got the ball rolling on it. Del fixed me up right.

She is a beautiful call and she can sing. Love the little bit of high pitch she has to her. The draw is very easy and it runs very smooth.

If you are into trumpets then I recommend you trying one of the Natural Addiction calls. Del and Billy are doing a great job on them.

Been wanting an African Blackwood for a long while so now. Since I can mark it off the list I guess I need to move down the list and decide between Olivewood and Desert Ironwood.

I know it went to a good home. Hope to see it laying next to a Tom in a few weeks.

Just be on the lookout for a FaceTime call around March 20th.
