Underrated trumpet wood

[DUPREE]

I like Katalox!

Of the few I've made, katalox has been my favorite so far.

I think persimmon should make a great trumpet wood, and I've seen a few made from persimmon but I've not run one myself.  An exotic you don't hear much about is Curupay or Cebil (also called Patagonian Rosewood, but it's not a true rosewood).  I have a Curupay trumpet from Misfire that's a player.

Another one could be Pau Rosa.  It's closely related to Katalox but it's a beautiful orange color.  I have a Turpin/Jordan set Kenneth Mullins made me and they look and run great. 

Once again, since both Curupay and Pau Rosa are dense woods they make good candidates for loud trumpets.

Since playing soft is very effective, wouldn't it be advantageous to use lighter woods for soft talk?  I have thought Jordans could be better for soft calling but I have a Jordan hybrid made of Kingwood that's very loud.

Intersting that you brought up persimmon. I just made one last week and it runs well.

I have one of Austy's adjustables in persimmon, has great tone to it and is a looker
