Just Trumpet Questions

[GregGwaltney]

I'm not sure where this got off from the original topic, and I think the question has went off on the wrong direction. I wasn't asking for advice on how to call, or looking for the "magic yelper". I was asking if all the yelpers have the same high pitch because I have 5 or 6 trumpets and all are from different makers except 2 and they all have a high pitch, which I'm not a huge fan of. My question was are all of them like this because the ones I've experienced from different makers are. Not that they're bad, they're just not the hen in my head. I can pick up and play any of them the same way. I've been practicing with trumpets for 4 years now. Anywho, I called Ralph Permar and after he played them for me, I believe the 45 in Delrin is what I'm after. I'm on the list. Thank you for the guys who recommended him

Sounds like your experience with Ralph answered your question.....But, yeah, not all trumpets are pitched the same and can be altered as well.

Thank you Greg, I'd like to get a Delrin from you with a "mature hen" pitch in the future, I've been eye balling yours for awhile now.

I owned one of Ralph's Delrin .45 myself and liked it a lot, see how the tone sits with you and we can visit again down the road a ways.

  you'll be able to imitate many different hens and even Jakes on one trumpet assuming you choose a good one to begin with.

Agree with this point. It is very possible to get different levels of pitch and rasp from a single horn.
