Is there any good books or YouTube's to get started on how to call with a trumpet call ?

I've always found this Ralph Permar video helpful, and if you're looking to buy a suction call to get started his improved Jordans will kill birds all day long. At $60 they're one of the best deals in call making. https://youtu.be/uZV7gXiYVq4

The three Marlin Watkins videos are also very good. Here's the first: https://youtu.be/momZ825uunU

I think Marlin explains technique very well in the first video. Definitely a great starting point!!

This video helped me. I watched crow, marlins etc but this one simplified it for me

Make sure that whoever you take advice from actually knows what they are talking about.

I see a lot of people who try drawing way too much air through the call, thinking that it will get louder like a mouth call. That is not where volume comes from in a suction yelper of any kind. What I like to tell a beginner is, imagine you are drinking scalding hot coffee through a coffee stirrer. If you draw too much too quickly, you will burn your mouth. But, if you draw slowly through the straw, you will not get burned. That will give you the proper amount of air needed to produce turkey sounds. Also, you need to play around with the mouthpiece in relation to where you place it on your lips. Some people have thin lips, some fat. I prefer to run my trumpets just off center where my lips are thickest. Also playing around with the depth of the lipstop until you find that happy medium. Then, practice, practice, practice

I have been fortunate to have some tips/help from a couple builders that run one well. If you want specific names send me a PM.

Why don't you share the intel here? Not like it's some secret. It's three things-

A GOOD call

A lot of practice

A lot of dedication.

Some people do not mind helping some people but do not want everyone contacting them or their name all out on a public forum. There are lots of people out there that can help, but like I said originally make sure it is someone that knows what they are talking about.

You are very right though, no matter who is giving tips it will not matter if you do not do the three things you have listed.
