By nature all trumpets are waterproof. You can run them in the nastiest of rainstorms. But, if it's raining good I usually take my Permar delrin 45. Plays great and is totally made from synthetic materials.

Most don't know it but trumpets work better wet.

I agree 100%

Apologizing:  does not always mean you are wrong and the other person is right. 
It just means that you value your relationship more than your ego.

One of the old turkey books I read quoted an old timer that said " many a times I have urinated in mine." I don't suggest that, but a  bottle of water when running a trumpet does seem to help.

Just curious why that would be?....It seems to me that when they get lots of moisture in them they are harder to play(especially softly), not as smooth and crisp.

Water and or spit is were you get the rasp especially softly,it take very very little air to run a fine tuned
well made Trumpet call

Hmmm, I will mess around with that, I am still learning that is for sure.

Like Terry, I too use a Permar Delrin 45 when it is rainiing. Never have to worry about the rain causing any damage to the outside finish of the call, or causing the wood to swell.

I've got a couple of acrylic trumpets that are impervious to the weather, but those are hard to find. I'm not sure why more call makers use acrylic.

I don't worry about getting my trumpets wet. In wet conditions I take shotgun, (hopefully a shell or two), mouth call and a trumpet around my neck.

Because it's a pain in the arse to turn.

I've got a Tony Quarino aquamarine acrylic trumpet that sounds great. But I'm so hooked on my KP that I carry it rain or shine. KP Blackwood trumpet has been in some downpours and never shut it down
