Title: Walnut trumpets?
Post by: Chris O on January 25, 2018, 08:57:21 PM
I was wondering if any of you had some pictures of any walnut trumpets you could show me. I love walnut for other calls and was wondering how it was in a trumpet thanks.

I played a Walnut(English?) McClain trumpet last year and it sounded great.....I too love walnut for turkey calls.

Walnut, especially aged, properly dried Walnut has great tonal qualities. I had Mr. Buice make a set of 6 calls for me and friends from a board i bought at a premium. The wood was grown in Cali and was over 100 years old at the time it was cut. Needless to say, the calls sound fantastic.

The other 4 in the commission... wonderful Claro Walnut. None of the recipients complained.

I was tickled by the end results..worth every dime.

Nitro those are beauties. Sir, your collection of Buice trumpets is something else.

Good walnut makes a good trumpet. I have made trumpets from many different domestic and exotic woods and the call I hunt with is made of walnut.
