What trumpet should I add next?

[ssramage]

So far in my meager trumpet collection I have a Buice osage, muddpuppi, WildTalker, and I have a sweet Mero snakewood on the way. I'm looking to add a call or two to my collection, but can't quite make up my mind. I've got $200-250 to spend. Should I drop most of it on another Buice, maybe an olivewood? Or should I go for a couple different calls? Thinking maybe an MKW, Dangerfield, Misfire???

John Dangerfield II and Matt Mclain for sure.

MKW makes a great trumpet, I am please with mine.

Robert Glover (Crawdad on here) makes an awesome trumpet at a great price...  If ya wanna spend closer to your max I'd try out a Ralph Permar, he makes a great trumpet.

Forgot to mention Marlin Watkins as well...

Ralph Permar and you'll be glad you did.

There are some great trumpet makers on THIS SITE I would recommend you get with them personally and talk turkey before you spend any of that hard earned cash of yours.

Permar, Dangerfield,  crawdad and MKW are all nice.


If you have 250 to spend...get an MKW and Dangerfield. Your gonna need 25 more bucks...but you can get two for that price. Mike will be 150 and John will be about 125.
