Hey , it's not written in stone what it's supposed too look like
Sound is that matters

No doubt sound is my number one priority, seem to have succeeded there, now I want it to look good to my eye too. This one is just not there. Interestingly enough, as I reshaped this trumpet the sound changed a bit, this reminds me of my days building guitars where everything caused tonal changes.....fun stuff!

Everything is relative when making turkey calls.

My plan is to build a couple more this weekend, I will post up some pics and sound files if possible.

I like the shape of it myself, especially near the horn.

Good to know, just goes to show everyone has a different eye for things. I am going to try another shape until until it strikes my fancy.
