I love Mr. Ralph's calls....he sure helped me a lot over the years with mine. I had a piece of Boise De Rose Madagascar Rosewood that I was using back in 2010 and had sent some to Ralph ... I found this one piece in a box of snakewood...(no wonder I can't find wood when I need it) LOL....and it hit me why not pay tribute to the guy who started me along a long and enjoyable path? So I turned this today...it is somewhat larger then Mr. Permar's as I used my internal measurements which I have set up for 7-3/4" length.....and my mouthpieces are setup for 3" lengths...but the shape is similar to his 1917 series of trumpets. I hope I did him well with the honor. Gonna send it to him as a gift....pappy

WOW!!! Fine looking horn Jack!!
Beautiful yelper...
Very nice way to tribute Mr. Ralph. He will love it I'm sure. :icon_thumright:
Jack you still amaze me with your work buddy.
thank you all for the comments, you know I have come to believe that making calls is not all about selling calls....it is about sharing them with friends and folks who really appreciate the time and effort that goes into making them. I have money....I have a nice home and truck...but let me tell ya this.....without friends....these things are useless ... thank God for friendship...
That's a really good looking trumpet Jack.

Beautiful and awesome tribute to him.
