Looking to pick up a trumpet to play with here during the upcoming off season.

I know absolutely nothing about them as far as wood, makers, and how much I should be paying. Can someone give me some general directions on what i should be looking to spend and some possible builders (local to OG are preferred)??

Any advice welcome!

You need to look at the list that Yoder put out there.  I have a few and by no means am I good at playing 1 but Kenneth. Mullins is the easiest  to get a sound  out of.
Just my 2 cents.

Kenneth builds a great trumpet.  And he is one stand-up human being !!!

Agree with the names above...also consider Marvin Breedlove (member)...love the trumpet he made for me and was a pleasure to deal with...learned a lot from our correspondence...also recommend putting the kids' college fund where it can't be touched...cuz this trumpet thing is addicting   :you_rock:

All good advice above. Check out Terry's post on trumpet info. A lot of good stuff..

Bought my 1st this month, Lee @ Misfire helped a lot and was great to work with.  Be careful they can become addictive, already have my 2nd on the way, picked up a Mullins from spurs2bgobblin's call purge list.  my name is Woodleyrd and I am an addict🤦🏼
