Thanks for posting the video! I'm interested to see how many people try a trumpet as well, but I would guess it won't be a noticeable difference, especially long term. Trumpets take so much practice just to produce an acceptable turkey sound, much less master it. Most people don't take the time to master other calls, whether it be diaphragm or friction, and trumpets are not near as readily available as other calls are.


The same people that squawk on a friction call because their caller and calling is poor will do the same on a trumpet.  They will spend that $$$ on a trumpet and by golly they gone use it no matter what.

Good video. It certainly can be frustrating when learning. I know it took me several years to get a decent sound. I set it down many times thinking I’m done with it.

Like a guitar teacher will say, hang it up on something where you see it and it’s easy to reach. Grab it and practice a few minutes each day or every few days.

That said I still can’t play a guitar lol. Carpal tunnel ended that journey.

Good video from a good friend. Lee does make as goid a trumpet as anyone I have ever run . As a matter of fact he is currently building me another .
I have several trumpet builders that I have spoken to since Pinhoti trumpet video . Mark Perdhome has almost 2 extra years wait because of it , Anthony Ellis ( AGE ) added over 1.5 years . Secondary market has picked up some already . just bought 2 Black Falcon ( Dave Hogkins ) trumpets and a tree yelper . KP. ( Kenny Pedelahore ) has shut down his list and Marlin Watkins only sells on EBay the very few he builds every year now .  so maybe some may be available on the secondary market I'm sure alot of people will not have the dedication to learn to play them .
I killed my first 3 turkeys with a Penn's woods yelper back in 1991 so its been a long journey for me . ive hunted almost exclusively with trumpets for the last 3 years  . 7 ol gobs thought it was good enough to get to close to my little ol . 410 to leave on their own legs ...!

Thank you for taking time to make this.

One thing that has helped me tremendously is learning to kee kee on a suction call 1st then reverse engineering everything else from there.

Sir, you have found the key!!!
The first note in the yelp is Kee. Learning to keep, control and hold it helps a lot, and will make you a better caller quicker, IMHO.
