Found my mailbox was packed full of feathers yesterday. Ralph Permar finished up my new Model .45 in desert ironwood, with an amber tip riding on top. This one is different than most others though. Check out that amber tip - see the spiraling on the inside? New finish to some of his awesome trumpets. Simply stunning, actually.
Strength of the .45 - people rave about Ralph's trumpets for very, very good reasons - all are super easy to run, consistent, and perfectly tuned. This is a special call for me, it will see lots of woods time in the years to come, and I will treasure it!
Click on the pics, they will expand a bit for better clarity and detail...love the wood grain in this one. Desert ironwood is one of my favs for a trumpet.
Ralph's calls are top shelf, congrats

Beautiful trumpet - I think Ralph's .45 is one of the best running trumpets there is - congrats
Nice. Congrats! Pretty piece of ironwood.
That is a beauty, love Desert Ironwood too. I had a .Delrin .45 that ran great, best of luck to you.
Very nice caller!

Man that's nice
That is one beautiful trumpet. I ordered one of Ralph delrin 45 trumpets last week. Thanks to the advise of you guys on this board. I'm not trying to take over this thread but Thanks again.
Superb call. You will enjoy hinting with it. Good luck
Nice call. I had a coco/ivory .45 and still have the Delrin model. That delrin .45 was the first trumpet I ever killed a turkey with when I started using them.
Very nice looking piece of wood for sure. He turned it into a masterpiece. I have looked at this model and the Hex model on his site.
Beautiful Trumpet. It just looks turkey .
Awesome, they don't get much better than that. Very nice call !!!
That looks AWSOME!

Im gonna have to say his yelpers are going to be my next purchase. This one is amazing and im sure sounds just as good as it looks. Great job
The more I look at this one, the more I like it. The ironwood with amber mouthpiece is killer

Thanks, everyone. I agree 100%, it is a looker. And of course its better in person than in the pics! But as good as it looks, this .45 trumpet sounds even better.
Ralph was very pleased with how this turned out, and rightfully so! He pointed me in the direction of a reddish wood to tie in the amber tip, and the ironwood / amber combo worked perfectly.
Nice one!
