Don't see many Pau Rosa Trumpets, but it sure makes a nice running/sounding call. I took some time to build a few trumpets for my website, this is one I listed there.

Appreciate it.....It does sound fantastic, reminds me of Kingwood or Cocobolo in terms of tone.
Sweet looking horn
That's really sharp Greg!!!
Greg very nice ,and that's some good wood for a trumpet..
Very nice sleeper wood! Fordhunt made me a couple out of Pau Rosa a couple of years ago! It's a beautiful, hard and heavy wood! Some pieces can look a lot like tulipwood! Those are beauties Greg!

Yes, it is a hard, resonant wood, has hints of rosewood to me......I had a nice billet that I cut into blanks, so plenty to have fun with in the future.
That one turned out nice!
