What is some cheaper trumpets to try?? Wood plastic etc etc I just want to try something else beside Andy Terrell's , and see if others or easier or harder to use. Mainly just wanting something new to try and play with. Thanks for any ideas are help
My best advice is to find somebody in your area that has a few and run them. It's easier that way to find what you like.
Thanks but I don't know a sole around here that uses a Trumpet .
Mr. Lee Chadwick makes great trumpets at an affordable price. His acrylic call is one of the best out there. He company name is Misfire game calls. Brian Mero is another top of the line builder with budget friendly pricing. Both these guys build great calls!

What state are you in?
I live in Mississippi
I would help if you were in Georgia.
The cane calls that go for $20 on eBay are good. And I carry a Permar improved Jordan style in my bag every hunt. Not sure if he has any available but it's a no brainer at $65 or so.
Thanks guys ,, I am still looking I checked with Lee Chadwick and his cheapest if $205 shipped. I may have to go eBay route to find a cheaper one. ??????????????
What part of MS?
SW not real far from Brookhaven MS off 84 hwy

DES trumpets on this site.
I learned on a Daryl Gosey trumpet. He is on here NCBowjunkie64 (I think that is his user name.) last trumpet I bought from him was sub 100.
Brian Mero also makes an affordable easy playing trumpet. He just got inducted into the NWTF hall of fame. Think he goes by merocustomcalls.
Best advice I can give you.... Stay away. There isn't an addiction like a trumpet addiction.

I'll second this for a great sounding, affordable call. Gene oughta be charging more than he does. Good feller.

Thanks Brian! Great meeting you this weekend at MossyOak store!
Trumpets that are as inexpensive as they get and play well would be Brian Lawter's in NC.

Trumpets are more expensive in general, just keep that in mind. I wouldn't recommend eBay. You are better off spending 200 for a Misfire or Mero than taking a stab in the dark on EBay. It's not a sector of the turkey call market for the very price sensitive unfortunately, especially these days. A Permar Jordan is a no brainer if you can get one.
You should check out a wingwood. They are $20 or so and you can learn to run a trumpet without sinking a bunch of money into it. Fair warning, trumpets are an addiction that seem to start off slow until you find yourself at the Unicoi ATM.

Says the man who had to wait in line at the ATM at Unicoi!
I gave a friend of ours a wingwood because he has not been able to use his Lewis Stowe to his satisfaction. He instantly sounded decent and really sounds great on the wingwood now that he has been practicing. Not knocking the Stowe, but the wingwood is an obvious good starter for someone wanting to try on the cheap.
I'll buy the Stowe if he doesn't want it.

Buying a bunch of trumpets can add up quickly when you can save and buy one with a good reputation. Strong advice here!
"Cheaper" is a relative term.
You might check with Doug Morgan in Brandon or Daryl Slaton in TN. Let them know you are looking for a hunting grade caller.
Another vote for Mr. Mero, he builds a wonderful instrument at a price a working man can afford.

I have a couple ready to go at the moment, Cocobolo and Ebony. $125
Pick which one you think looks better and you will be set with either of those!

That is a good deal..Brian's calls play very easy. Daryl Slaton make some very easy running calls that sound great too. Save your money and invest it in a good tool and if you decide down the road a trumpet isn't for you it will sell much more easily. It is a lot easier to learn how to play a trumpet if you start with one that is well made
Thanks guys for the input, I have a Nice one now made by Andy Terrell that's Ebony I believe . Just wanted to try one cheaper and see if it's any difference between them. Thanks
I have a Billy Buice that I cant get good enough to kill a turkey with. I also just bought a $25.99 Conewago call off EBAY that I suspect will kill a bird very soon. The Buice is too hard to pull air through( I bought the 2 mouthpiece set with the call), and this EBAY call will get loud easy. I realize the EBAY call will never be worth more than $25.99, but it will hunt for me.
No need to get loud on a trumpet! A gobbler can hear so much better than humans.
Doug Morgan in Ms makes a fine turmpet! Brown Tie Turkey Call Company
I bought a Permar Improved Jordan Yelper a couple of years ago and I really like it. I also bought a Preston Pittman trumpet. I like it also. Neither of these calls cost too much. Hard to find the Pittman call, but Midwest Turkey Calls has several for around $55.00. I just bought 2 off of eBay for around $25.00 each for my two granddaughters. They actually sound pretty good. I would take any of these calls in the woods. The Permar Jordan is my favorite that I have.
I forgot that I also bought a Mosses Creek Wing Wood call within the last month. I paid $30.00 for it. My neighbor up the street has a couple of toms that I call to and both of those birds will gobble back to the Mosses Creek call quicker than any if my other trumpet calls.
That Mosses Creek Wing Wood is a good call. I got one last year to learn on and I really like it and the turkeys do too. First time I used it I killed a 23 lb double beard.
