Store bought trumpets

[Chickenlips]

Has anyone got to try out the Rolling Thunder trumpet call?  or any "store bought" call.  I've always been a Pittman calls fan but never pulled the trigger on his yelper.  I've heard the old Penn Woods yelpers were good sounding calls.

I have the Rolling Thunder trumpet call, and it plays well for me. Ricky Padgett has a great design, and they nailed it with this call. It is acrylic with a Delrin mouthpiece. I can get the rasp out of this call just like I can the others I have from him.

I like the KT Team (Prudhomme) trumpet. Plays fairly easily for me. Haven't tried the Rolling Thunder (Padgett) yet.

Nothing against the Rolling Thunder $200 or KT Team $249 two trumpets I almost bought.I was able to buy some big name new/used calls for 150$-210$ hand turned stuff that's really great so after the fact not sure why I would spend that kinda money on a CNC mass production call unless it was just proven magic.

They nailed this call. Runs just as good as any Padgett's I have

What they ^ said about the Rolling Thunder.  It runs great!  The KT Prudhomme runs good as well.

Let's talk price for these store bought trumpets. I've seen them for 59 dollars to 200 dollars..

So in my opinion if your getting into the 200 dollar range for CNC trumpet why not save your money and get you a custom made trumpet ... IMO


I understand a cheaper trumpet is supposed to put more in the hands of people who can't afford a custom.

But I also see more people running around in the woods who will not take the time to really learn to use it ..
