I'm in the market for a trumpet call, I can run a wing bone decent and I like them because it keeps me from over calling when it really matters.
Who makes a good affordable trumpet? I dont need one for a beauty contest just one that sounds great and will last.
lot of good ones on this site, but how about a cow horn? ;D

I'm looking more along the traditional lines :)
Setting here thinking the wing bone I run was made by my grandfather, who passed away this summer. I have a piece of 30-06 brass from the 21 gun salute at his funeral this past summer. I would really be interested if one of this sites fine call makers could incorporate that onto a trumpet. Say saw the head of the case off and inlay it in the wood and kind of have it where the mouth piece runs out of the neck of the brass?
That would really be neat.
Joe at Mother Lode Calls makes a good one, bet he would make you one with that brass.. Mike
I could do that for you if you are interested. Here is a few pics of a couple I have.

If you want something representing the Military I have two remaining "M-1" trumpets that were originally introduced on Veteran's Day, 2012. The ferrule on this trumpet is from a 30.06 shell casing.
I can throw my hat in the ring, just pm me what you are looking for....pappy
