I have never tried a trumpet and want to try one, but I don't want to spend a lot of money to try it to realize I don't like it.... what is a good entry level trumpet call that people on here would recommend to try it? Is there even such a thing?
PM sent.
Entry level price is different for some people. Matt Mclain makes a reasonable priced trumpet.Ralph Permar makes a Classic model that's $125.00. Once in awhile on here a Battey Wildtalker will come up for sale for around $125.00..Thats just a few I've had luck and experience with.
If you find out a trumpet is not for you for some reason these usually seem to sell easy on O.G.
If you invest in a good quality call and decide you don't like it you will have NO PROBLEM selling
Takes a lot of practice.........
grab a coffee stirrer straw, cup your hands around the end..voila

Brian Mero makes a very easy playing good sounding trumpet for a good price.
Daryal Gosey (Ncbowjunkie on here) makes a nice trumpet at a very reasonable price.

So tired of hearing the phrase (beginners trumpet) its either a good call or its not. Price isnt a factor w/ me. Mike

X2....I think asking for entry level is a person asking for something that is proven,but wont break the bank is my interpretation.

Great advice, a quality trumpet will also lessen the learning curve. Not all trumpets are the same.
I can make a field grade call for $100. I have sold calls for $2000. a far as play ability they are exactly the same call as the internals are the same on everything I sell, its just what its made of and the time in making.

It really comes down to what a person wants to spend and availability. I have several from different makers and different price ranges. They all have slight differences but basically play the same. Everyone that I have and if it was the only one I had I would be happy with them all. I think they will all kill turkeys . I don't think you have to spend a bunch of money to get a trumpet that will kill turkeys.
You do not have to spend a bunch of money but trumpets are different than many other calls. Some are easier to draw and play. A person that has learned to run a trumpet somewhat effectively can pick most up and run them, but someone learning may not be able to do that. Saying a beginner can get any trumpet and learn is setting them up for a long road and possible frustration that makes them give it up. Lots of people make trumpets but not all trumpets are created equal.
I started with a harder to run trumpet and it was not easy. My next was a Buice and if I had started with it then my learning curve would have been much better.
