Rev. Farmer's units are a rarity .... Mr. Cox is always in high demand....

I know Prudhommes are popular. I don't think he makes very many and they're expensive. I was able to get one from Unicoi. It's a nice trumpet. I'm not sure it was worth what I paid for it. The finish isn't perfect. I'm not a collector though. I carried it every time I hunted last year.

Good playing but obviously supply and demand! Plenty of awesome playing horns made by many call makers that are readily available.

Might want to consider Ralph Permar and Anthony Ellis, two great call makers and mighty fine gentlemen as well.

Farmer (to me that's the biggie unless you're going historical), Hegler (another biggie), Buice, Cox, Hornstra, Prudhomme, Pedelahore, Permar, Trotter, Whedon. Honestly surprised Permar wasn't mentioned more here, and that Trotter and Whedon weren't mentioned at all. All of those have collectability and are sound investments. Of the younger callmakers taking the reins, I consider Anthony Ellis' calls chief among them.
