Field grade hunting trumpet

       Looking for a hunting trumpet and think I have it narrowed down to
a Permar Delrin .45 or a Billy Buice Osage.

       What would you guys recommend? I have used an old Penn's Woods
trumpet with some success, but I'm no trumpet expert.

                                                 Thanks, Jim

Those are both excellent trumpets, great sound and easy to run.  I would give the edge to the Buice for the interchangeable mouthpieces, and collector interest, should you change your mind.

I think you would be happy with either choice. I don’t have a Permar yet but plan on getting one. I haven’t heard anything bad about either maker

Mr. Buice trumpets seem very easy for me to play. I own one and have another on order. I’m not a collector, just want a solid pair of trumpets for hunting. I’m confident that’s what you will get from Mr. Buice.

Buice or Permar is a good choice.  I would double check with Mr. Billy about Osage.  Go with a number 4 if you go with Buice and get one mouthpiece.  Good luck.

Billy McCallister from Georgia makes a mighty fine trumpet too

You are going to get 100 recommendations of different makers, there are that many or more.  Research the board and see which come up, how often, and why.  Good luck in your search.

I understand what you mean by number 4, but when you say
"get one mouthpiece", does that mean it's a mouthpiece that can't be interchanged?

I do not always word well, if you decide to only get one mouthpiece and not multiple to interchange go with the #4 if you are pretty novice with a trumpet.  Mr. Billy's trumpets do offer interchangeable mouthpieces with a screw in or push in design.  You have the option to get multiple interchangeable mouthpieces and can get the varying numbers, the same numbered mouthpiece in different materials, delrin, micarta, corian, etc, or mix and match.  You can have multiple options with mouthpieces with one trumpet barrel.  Hope that is a bit more clear.

I have both and would definitely recommend the Buice.  Tje Permar 45 is a great call but more medium pitched.  Billy's are more versatile.  Get the screw in though.
