Go to Harbor Freight and get some of those cushion floor pads. They help some with your back. I like your calls. My vote is number two with the straight area below the ferrule.  They look good!

Those are sharp Gregg. I'd love to see one with a nice smooth barrel and only a lanyard notch.

You mean like a Turpin or a Buice ???  Stick with a unique design Gregg.

There is only so much that can be done with the shape of a trumpet before it gets goofy looking. I am trying to be somewhat different and remain in the ballpark of acceptable/normal. It also has to look appealing to my eye or I will keep trying another design(I like this shape). It would be easier to just do a straight barrel with few appointments, and maybe that is where I will end up, but for now I am trying this slightly different path.
