I have a chance to buy a dymondwood trumpet or a osage from someone. I have Osage trumpets already but I have never had a dymondwood. I have not seen many. My question is for guys that have one. Do you like them or would you stick to the tried and true Osage. I like the fact of a rutland dymondwood trumpet , just dont know what they sound like. Thanks.

I have one from Brandon Martin, sounds great. It's the green trumpet. I'd get a dymondwood trumpet while you can, blanks that size are getting hard to come by.

Most all of the sound quality comes from the internals. I don't think the type of wood has much to do with the sound.

I agree 100 percent , however I have recorded different trumpets with the same mouthpiece in each and there was a slight variation in the sound. I know that internals and mouthpieces are the main factors in the sound but I was under the impression that the wood type as well as grain played some part. I may be wrong but was just my impression.

Lots of opinions on what the different materials does to effect sound and how the sound comes about.

Two calls from the same call maker out of different wood and the same mouth piece very few will be able to tell the difference in sound. I have had people in my shop that could play a call I will go where the could not see me and play a call out of pine and cocobolo and they could not tell any difference.

Thanks for the responses. I guess that the wood is purely cosmetic. I called and talked to Mr. Buice and he told me that a tulipwood vs osage for example will have a little variation in the sound that you can pick up only by recording and listening to it. It seems like a waste to order 10 calls from a maker if they all sound alike unless you just like a lot of pretty calls. The information so far is what I was looking for. Thanks guys.

I had an osage trumpet from a well known maker that had a very sharp ringing "plastic" sound to it, I also had a bocote call from the same maker that had a noticeably mellower sound, both calls had delrin mouth pieces.

Both calls drew air equally good, but there was a difference in sound.

I made a Jordan type yelper from a young walnut tree, it is mostly sapwood with a bone mouthpiece.
this call has a very mellow more "quiet" type of sound.

Just don't ask the "Jankas" they will only stir up nothing but trouble

You can change tone with your hands enough to get the sound you want. I'd order whatever Trumpet you prefer

I personally agree with EZ. Maybe the 2 trumpets you had from the same maker had very slight differences in the internals. I could see where.002 of an inch could be called good enough quality control. I don’t know for sure but could see something like that.
