Over the last few months, I have made numerous trumpet calls of various designs. I struggled with several different designs, mouth pieces, lip stops etc. However, with the help of several OG members, I have been able to come up with a decent sounding call. In fact, I will be carrying a couple to south Texas in a couple weeks for the opening of spring season. I particularly want to thank Gitzit69 for his help in getting me through some pitfalls. Without his help, I would not be writing this. During this time, I also got some help from some friends with their feedback.
Anyway, yesterday I got an order for two trumpet calls. My question is, how do you sign your trumpet call? I looked on line and did not see any calls that were signed by the maker. Any help would be appreciated.
Again, I want to thank Gitzit69 (Dave) for his help. He was very helpful and took his time to steer me though the minefield of building a decent sounding trumpet. I also want to thank Marvin Hasenek for his tutorial. It is what started me in the right direction to start with. Thanks guys and may both of you have a great day.

MOst of the many trumpets I have are signed in the end of the trumpet bell .
I too need to think Dave and Marvin because if it were not for them, I would still be standing there turning firewood...Thanks again Guys!
I sign my trumpets in two ways, one inside the bell area, two, I engrave the brass ferule with my name date and call number.
End of the bell or brass ferrule. I also want to give thanks to Dave Smith, Brian Mero, and Mike Williams for all their help. You guys are awesome.
