Ever try turning a hand grenade with the pin pulled, that's what its like turning acrylic at least that's been my experience.

I am in no way an expert here.  But it seems there are two different animals being mentioned.  Delrin is more dense than acrylic but not as hard as acrylic. Delrin has better sound quality (according to some way they test that:)  They are both technically a type of plastic.   I have trumpets made from both and I can't tell a difference.  After all the Cox Green Hornet was acrylic.  The original one was optical grade acrylic but the edition of 100 was all bar stock acrylic.  Dimensions and internals make more of a difference than material in my opinion.  That Permar Delrin .45 is my favorite trumpet regardless of weather.  It is an absolute reaper.

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.

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

They are awesome calls though Matt.

Lol...I've got a couple of Matt's acrylic pain in the arses!! Also a couple of Ralphs..Great trumpets!!

I have a black acrylic made by Pappy Lewis,  a WildTalker green acrylic, and another green acrylic that I don't remember who made it - I like them all, but Pappy's is my favorite.

If you ever decide to sell the Wildtalker green, let me know

Any trumpet done with a CA finish is waterproof. I have a few I have done out of acrylic, guess I am in the minority, I like turning them.

I turned one today from phenolic resin, I'm sure it is probably waterproof.

Trumpets are my go to call in the rain.  I got one from Mike Battey that's black plastic.
Don't forget wingbone calls.  They are also good in the rain.
