I typically send wood to call makers, but I'll take just about anything from KP, Prudhomme and Dangerfield.  Those are the 3 makers I really want a trumpet from now.  To make it harder, I'm not one to buy calls in the secondary market.  It's from the maker or nothing for me.

Nothing wrong with want directly from builder. I prefer that as well, but some white whales or just great calls have been found thanks to secondary market. Secondary market also builds some friendships.
I don't disagree at all.  Getting calls from the maker is just my hang up.

I live and hunt by empirical evidence.

I have a large number from one maker. Most have been second hand, some directly from the maker. The ones directly from the maker hold a more special place in my heart for sure.
