Which is easier to play as this would be my first?

I personally find the trumpet easier to play than wingbones. After you get efficient with one though, the wingbone is an easy transition.

Trumpet. More versatility and like Terry said it will help you with other suction calls. I actually like cane yelpers and Jordan style yelpers even more than wingbones. But trumpets first and foremost. Everyone is different.
If a guy can PLAY an air operated call, it shouldn't make one iota of difference.

Yup
Fellas I've never tried to play any type before so don't know.

Go on and get one of each. If you are like most of us you'll end up with both eventually. Trumpet seems easier to run than a bone to me, but if you can run one you can run the other.
A trumpet for sure, if your starting out learning to run these types of calls....

:agreed:
This was my firsthand experience.
I agree that if you can play one you can play either, but I would say that a good trumpet is easier to start out on.

I've been learning and playing the Trumpet the last few months. i'm getting better...lol ...you can teach a old man new tricks ...lol...
It would depend on the wingbone, whether it was a hen bone or gobbler IMO. I will say there is more versatility in a trumpet and it is easier for me to teach someone on a trumpet than on a wingbone. Once you get the trumpet figured out, you will want a wingbone and a cane. Just a warning ;D

I agree, but will add, not all Trumpets, Wingbones or Jordans are created equal. Getting a suction type call from a maker who has a reputation for building easy to run calls pays great dividends.

Very true!

I have some nice trumpets, experimented with them for years off and on.
I just picked up a wingbone that Mr Sharp made. I have to say it's the easiest call of this type, trumpet or wingbone, I've ever ran. The tone is really nice.
I have to agree with his reply above.
I'll add a good quality call that's highly recommended makes a big difference too.
I have no idea, never have used a trumpet before. I learned how to use a wingbone and it is my favorite type of call now. I've heard a couple bamboo calls and even whittled my own out of river cane (because I left my wingbone at the truck) but I don't like the sound produced by the cane as much as the wingbone. The bones make the best sound to me. But then again I have not tried any trumpet calls, maybe they sound better, no idea.
