Title: Two from Unicoi
Post by: KentuckyHeadhunter on January 17, 2017, 03:33:22 PM
I bought several calls at the show but these are two of the three suction calls I got. (The third, not pictured, is a Lamar Williams wingbone; I always wanted one)

-Marlin Watkins amboyna burl adjustable trumpet. 
-Anthony Ellis ABW and buffalo horn Jordan style.

Both of these look great and sound better! There were so many to choose from but I didn't have a trumpet yet from either of these guys.  Anthony happened to have a combo I always wanted in a Jordan style. Awesome call from a great guy and friend.  Marlin was not really selling his horns I just twisted his arm a couple weeks prior and it paid off.   :OGani:

Wow that Watkins burl looks awesome Allen. I'll bet it's a player!  I'm glad you like the yelper.

Great looking calls. I heard it was a great show and very well run and a good time had by all. Makes me want to plan on going next year.

Very nice Allen. Did you get the wing bone mouth piece for Marlins call as well? If not you need to pick one up as it really works well in this call.

I've heard that Bill but he didn't have any available.  I really like the sound as it is and with the adjustment option it is very versatile.  I like how he shapes the MP.  Almost triangular.  Is that normal for Marlin's trumpets? Gives nice fit and rasp.
