Thinking of giving trumpets or wingbones a try

[Meleagris gallopavo]

So now I'm curious about using a trumpet or wingbone.  What's a good model to use to get the concept down without committing a lot of $$$?

if you want to try a yelper without spending alot of $ i'd get a cane call and try it.  easier to learn on

Permar improved Jordan. Best deal in yelpers period. They're $60 from one of the best callmakers at work. Cheapest yelper I own and it never leaves my vest. Ever.

X2.  I am waiting on a call from someone that I wanted to try. Once I know more about the call it may be one I recommend as well.

If you want to try a yelper without breaking the bank go on ebay. There's a guy selling all cane yelpers that not only look very nice but play easy and sound damn good at 50 dollars. Yes I have one and it will hunt.

Darrel Gibson, Daryl Gosey, and Brian Mero get my vote for great trumpets @ a great price. Id also look into wingbone calls and also cane/jordan style yelpers.... EZ here on the forum makes some beautiful wingbones and cane yelpers. I just ordered a jordan style yelper from Ralph Permar. If its half as good as people say, its one of the best deals going on a yelper. Just be patient and persistent when it comes to practicing!

 I just purchased my first ever trumpet from Brain Mero. Great guy to deal with. I called him on the jan 28th.. here it is the 2nd of feb and I have it in my hand.
Its beautifully made. After about an hour of fooling with it I have no doubt ill be killing turkeys with it soon. Im getting some very good sounds out of it already.

I'm new to trumpets and I can tell you they've already started ruining my life. If you can run diaphragm calls I'd stay away from this poison.  Been addicted to hunting birds for a long time, been acquiring nice calls for years, but this new problem I can tell is going to get out of hand.  Just say No

Truth....lol

My goodness, thank you to everyone that suggested me, I am truly humbled.  I have been in the shop daily making calls, trying to keep up with orders. 

Here is an example of a trumpet I charge $100 for.  Cocobolo and Delrin, about the same thing I bring to the woods myself.  This one is headed out to another member on here.

Even worse when you start shopping for blanks to give to folks when you come up on their lists
