Gloves with Trumpet Call?

I usually wear cotton gloves with the finger tips cut off to run my slate calls. When I tried my trumpet with them it really doesn't sound right. So do any of you use gloves or run them without?

If it's cold I wear gloves usually brown jerseys with the middle finger cut off at the big knuckle so I can manipulate the bell if I want. When it's warm I put camo make up on the backs of my hands. You will get used to the gloves after while and it won't seem so bad. Record yourself with gloves and without and you probably won't notice too much difference to your ear.

I always have leather gloves on , at that point im not to picky on alittel bit of  sound difference. Still get responses from turkeys.  My gloves fit tight. Just my luck

It muffles it badly for me. Don't wear them.

I don't like wearing gloves running a trumpet.

I wear tight fitting, thin gloves. I used the Ol Tom this year and cut out the fingers and reinforced the seams with thread. Worked great. Sometimes I do not wear any gloves.

I take the gloves off. Sometimes I forget to put them back on.

I've stopped wearing gloves. Just rub some green carbomask facepaint all over both hands. Dries in about one minute. Then go hunting. It won't come off and no gloves to muffle the trumpet.

Unless its cold, I'll leave the gloves off until I sit down to work the bird. I usually wear tight fitting gloves but cut off the thumb and first two fingers. Typically running a trumpet pretty soft once set anyway, with just one hand, so a thin glove isn't an issue.

Get a left and right black golf glove that fits tight of a pair of thin leather tight fitting shooting gloves. They work fine, I rarely wear gloves but they work.

Somebody here had a thread posted about trumpets with gloves vs no gloves and somebody had posted a test done on and oscilloscope showing the difference in the sound wavelength and there is a drastic difference. I seem to remember that the person decided to get a pair of gloves and cut the palm out and maybe up the the middle knuckle of both gloves for running the trumpet and it worked much better for him.
