I wanted to thank both these gentleman for the calls I received from them. In both cases I had offered to buy calls from them and they turned around and gifted them to me.

Packmule also was kind enough to throw in a wonderful Yellowheart & Mineral Popler Scratchbox from S&S Costom Calls as well as the Walnut over Catalpa box call I tried to buy from him from Spring Creek Turkey Calls.

I contacted Gergg about a Cocobolo Trumpet - Gwaltney G3 Prototype and had asked him if I could make him a couple of payments towards it and have him send it when I had paid it off, he also surprised me and made it a gift. The thing is simply beautiful, I love it and can't wait to get better with it. Here is a soundfile of him playing it the way it is meant to be played and then a file of me attempting to play it, I need some work.

Congrats, lots of great folks on this forum. Put them things to use and kill yourself a gobbler or two.

Great gestures, cut back on the air you are drawing. Drawing way too hard. Good luck!

Many classy people for sure. I am sure they will, just have to learn them.

Thanks, will try but I get no sound at all if I go any lighter. Thanks for the good luck.
