Just received an email from Herb. I have this green dyed maple burl trumpet coming. He said he hasn’t made one like this in 18 years.

Wow, that's really neat looking.

Can't wait for my buddy Chobrown to get his in so I can play it . Hate I didn't get to talk with Mr. Herb at Nationals as I was bending Mr Marlin Watkins ear pretty good and when I finished Mr Herb had snuck out.

Thanks gentlemen. I’ve had it in hand for a little over a week now. There is something special about Herb’s calls. I’m not sure how he builds them, but the uniqueness is hard to put into words. Definitely a different feel than one turned on a lathe. This one will be cherished.

Herbs call are as unique as he is indeed.  Although I am friends with many trumpet call makers out there I will always make sure that I kill a turkey every year with one of Herbs trumpets. 

The reasons are many as I value what the man has taught me in relation to playing a trumpet, the ease of use, the uniqueness of his craftsmanship as the man doesn't even use a lathe but most of all the damn things just flat talk turkey!   :icon_thumright:

It just means that you value your relationship more than your ego.
