That would probably be the one call of mine I'd break or lose while hunting if I was so lucky to own one. :angry9:
Buy it now 4200$ i know its worth what someone will pay but 4200$??? Is it really worth that? I'm not a trumpet guy so not familiar with zach farmer

Look on UTube, he has two videos.
Someone has put in a bid on it, $2500. Wow that's a lot of cash. But then, how many come up for sale. To each their own.

The reserve isn't met either so $2500 won't buy it.
I wouldn't think now would be a good time to sell high dollar calls
All i can say it's awesome trumpet .. at least i got to see picture of it...

He tosses one on every now then to test the waters. I don't think he has ever sold one on ebay.

If I had 4200$ and that call was available, I'd buy it just to hope to try and be able to get that sound out of it that that man can make come out of it. My goodness

You could do that with alot cheaper one if you wore yours around your neck 24/7 like he does.
Guys if I may cause I'm not a trumpet type expert by even the furthest stretch. Why exactly are they so expensive and what's the allure? My buddy has a couple and though I can do air suction type calls those seem really temperamental. My experience w them is limited but what gives??
I assume supply/demand but they ought to work well imo. Not that they don't for some I'm just not getting the allure for that price
For Farmer it's all based on demand. He is a legend and doesn't make many therefore they are rare and sought-after. Anyone who thinks buying one of his calls is going to make you sound like him is sadly mistaken. For the individual who wants to sound like him, I'd focus a lot more on practice than what call you're using.

It's not the piece. Farmer sounds the same on any style trumpet he runs. Trumpets help modulate and amplify, but your sound comes from you.
There are plenty of fiddles that sound as good as a Stradivarius, but you don't recognize their name and they don't cost as much.

Very true words right there.
Hey EZ. I heard that someone at Unicoi left a brand new Zach Farmer in your room at Unicoi a couple of months ago....lol.
Hope all is well.

It's the mint or a flat tipped mouthpiece for sure.
EZ that would have been a huge score, good thing you are an honest man. I know I would have made him sweat a little before I gave it up just to see the panic in his eyes, LOL. I had the pleasure of running his Zach Farmer last year when I hunted with him its a very nice call.
LOL, yeah, I could have had one!!! In all honesty, once I saw that it was a Farmer call, I was afraid to touch it, lol. Didn't want to be responsible for "something" happening to that Holy Grail call.
$3050.00 and the reserve isn't met?? Must have to dang near buy it now to get that one.
He's relisted it @ $3700 FYI
You could hand me the best violin known to man, and it would sound terrible if I played it. Hand just an average or below average violin to someone like Charlie Daniels and he would make it smoke. Understand where I'm going with this? There are a lot of calls bought by the average Joe thinking he will sound like some of the masters, only to be highly disappointed in the sound he achieves. Some people are more talented than others no matter how much you may practice, but almost anyone can achieve suitable sounds to kill turkeys. I have cheap calls and expensive calls, and after learning what to say, and when to say, it it really makes no difference which of the calls I use. Last couple of seasons I have been hunting with some of the first calls I ever bought back in the 1980's when I started hunting, a Lynch Foolproof, the cheapest looking Penn Woods trumpet you have ever seen and a pocket slate, and I am calling up turkeys just like I was when I used expensive custom calls.
