So many great makers. You really have to fine the ones that work for you. It has been suggested before to buy a reputable makers horn and get good with it, then add to your collection. Terry has a good write up for beginners, and several makers are listed. My favs are KP, Black Falcon, Permar, and most recently Gwaltney. Also, don't ignore a good wingbone. Just received one from EZ, and it speaks turkey..

Lot of good trumpet builders. My suggestion is to stay with builders who have been building trumpets for a long time... That's not to say others who build trumpets along with other calls don't do a good job. IMO

Quote from: Bedge7767 on August 11, 2023, 11:11:52 AMAll the above and more. A few call makers that make other types of calls won't take an order for a trumpet but build some that will play with the best if you can get ahold of one. I'm not a collector either but I chose wisely and have a hand full that are not going anywhere.

Besides appearance, does a buffalo mouthpiece vs a camel bone mouthpiece make a difference?

I don't have any camel bone but I would take buffalo over Delrin any day. Some say you better a better sound out of Buffalo.

Quote from: Alabama556 on August 12, 2023, 08:18:18 AMHonestly i have all three , Camel bone, Buffalo and Delrin and i would find it hard to play the difference in any of them... In my opinion the mouthpiece end and internals make the biggest differences along with the builder of the trumpet... IMO

Love buffalo horn but not a fan or camel bone, but I am sensitive to textures.

To the OP, Bott and Permar. Then Sharpe and Ezolt for the Jordan style.
To the point of mouthpiece material, strong preference is amber.

Quote from: Alabama556 on August 12, 2023, 08:18:18 AMMouthpiece does make a difference. But probably not much difference between buffalo and camel bone if they were same shape and diameter. If it was delrin and buffalo horn same shape and size there would be a slight difference in sound

Shape and hole size would make a difference in mouthpieces of same material

Buice hornstra kp cox prudhomme permar
And Watkins makes a great trumpet and doesn't get much love. These calls are hard to come
Current makers taking orders that make good calls are Hamon and age and others like Slanton and Lester
Wingbone and cane calls EZ and mark sharpe make excellent calls

Far, far, FAAAAAAAAAR from an authority on suction calls. But names I have not seen listed yet that (in my unwashed opinion) make calls that run.........
Irving Whitt - Trumpet
Mike Robare - Trumpet
Tony Quarino - Jordan

Prudhomme, KP , AGE and Seth Harmon. Those are my personal favorites. That being said , your list may be different. It comes down to the ones that draw easiest and smoothest for you.

I pick up Townsend trumpets whenever I get the chance. They are players. I also recently picked up one from Val Espinoza that plays easy.

With regards to mouthpiece material, it most certainly plays a huge difference. Most noticeably, move to a metal mouthpiece and listen to the difference. It won't sound anything like wood or bone or delrin for that matter.
