That is a great looking group!

Question, what do we call a such a magnificent group of trumpets?  A flock, gaggle, murder, herd, mob, pride, parade, clan, troop, crash, etc....   Just a thought for Tuesday.

That birthmark on that blackwood is something else! Kinda makes me like it the most.

Jumped out at me too. Except I was thinking beauty mark.

Greg, love the original. Great group of wood and cool to see the difference in those two ironwood side by side!

That Hondo Rosewood you have is something else!  I imagine it makes for a good sounding trumpet!

TY....as usual, the ABW sounds fantastic too, that little oddity adds some character for sure.

Thanks so much Tony, I was excited for sure, especially considering I used a slightly updated recipe for these trumpets......Of course, I have a ways to go to get to the award level you hit, but I am working hard to get there....Big congrats to you as well, your delivery drama turned into bliss!

Take care....Greg
