you got a good one,I have had one he made me for quite awhile and I love it,It's the easiest trumpet I own to run and the birds love it...I been wanting to get one of those newer fancy ones he has been making lately but just haven't had the extra funds,I'm gonna definitely get another tho when I'm able..Between the trumpet I got from him,my Buice trumpets and a wingbone that ez made,I could go the rest of my life and never need another call,but they are so dang addictive....lol...here lately I have not been able to put that wingbone down.
