Ralph Permar and Billy Buice both make em in delrin.
Delrin has a different sound to me than wood in a trumpet it has more of a pop to it and a crisper sound.

I have a few all delrin but I think they all are 2 pieces. Buice yelpers have removable mouthpieces. He makes an excellent delrin. I carry mine whenever there's any chance it might rain

Quote from: Meleagris gallopavo on May 23, 2022, 09:46:25 AMIn my personal opinion (and this could be entirely in my head, or could be a result of the individual calls; internals, mouthpiece material, etc.), it depends on the micarta. I've got some heavier fiber micarta calls that seem to play a little duller than delrin but then I've got some black linen micarta calls that carry exactly that same sort of pop and are indistinguishable. If I had to pick a material as I've said a whole, whole lot, I'd take delrin. That said, if it's a micarta call, I want Charlie turning it.

To my ears Delrin, micarta, and acrylic all have a hair more "pop" to their sound. I personally really like them.

The one micarta call I've got that I really like has a PPSU mp that I do like, but I've got a couple wood calls with micarta mouthpieces and I just don't like them nearly as much as delrin. Micarta also seems significantly heavier to me.

Why not more acrylic. Because it's a large pain in the arse to turn and polish.. Especially the clear.
