Title: Rasp In A Trumpet?
Post by: Gobbler428 on April 02, 2019, 02:47:20 PM
How do you get rasp out of a trumpet. Is it built into the trumpet by the maker or is it the way you run it? - or - Is it a combination of both?  Does some material tend to produce a more raspy sounding horn than others?

Mostly the way it is played,....for me the open bell trumpets make it a little easier to get rasp, until I get a gobbler in front of me....lol

Agreed, everything from fluty to kazoo-y depending on how it is run.

Definitely it's the way it's run.  That being said, I've got some that 'rasp' much better than others. 

Not sure it makes any difference to a turkey.

That probably comes from the ease of draw on that particular trumpet. I have noticed the same

Mouthpiece shape also makes some difference

I feel like it's definitely mostly how it's played. For me the easiest way to get some rasp is by adjusting the mouthpiece so that air runs across my bottom lip almost like it's a reed.

OK, how do I run a high pitch call like Ralph Permar's 1920 and 1930 which sounds like a young hen to me and make it sound raspy like an old hen???

I get rasp by playing with looser lips on the mouthpiece.

Put just a tad bit of water in the trumpet.

Has to do with air on the back end of the Yelp.

Thanks, now I have something specific to work on. Trial and error just like when first learning to run one. Practice - Practice - Practice until you figure it out!

Turn it at a 45 or so degree angle to the side.

Everyone is after the Zach Farmer raspiness. Am I the only one that noticed every time he plays on video he has a piece of candy in his mouth , 2 things happen saliva ( your water ) and holding your candy to one side helps me to draw longer . but then I'm no expert for sure, but I have kilt a few the last 3 years with a trumpet .

There is probably more than one way to skin a cat. Like anything else, the more you put into it the more you get out of it. If you have a specific sound you're after just keep practicing and experimenting until you get it.
