Reasonably Priced Trumpet?

[BDeal]

What is your definition of reasonable? Brian Mero is a great builder, as is Lee Chadwick. Most builders with reputation have it for a reason.

$200 or less

I'm a fan of Delrin trumpets for their sound and durability and I own a few from well known makers.

I recently picked up one of Anthony Ellis(AGE)Simple Hen Delrin trumpets and it is a gem. Has the same internals as his XT model. He keeps some in stock and I received mine in about a week. ~$200

Also, these guys have hit the nail on the head with mentions of Mero, Chadwick, and a trip to Unicoi!

Doug Morgan makes a fine trumpet. They're very reasonably priced. Matter of fact, I've told him on more than one occasion that he ain't charging enough for em.

A  couple that I don't believe have been mentioned in your price range would be Todd Black and Clay Townsend's all delrin call.

In 2019, I bought a yelper directly from Mr. Billy Buice, off his table at Unicoi. I gave $195 for that call. That man has been building them longer than any other builder around. I would think about that real strong before paying equal to some of these builders who have "popped up" over the past 5 to 6 years.

That was going on 7 years ago, and those days are over now. You're not getting a Buice for anywhere near 195 anymore. And some of the newer makers are just as good. Ask Mr.B what he thinks of Seth Hamon, for example.

Just got a Seth Hamon trumpet, it is equal in playability and sound to the best playing trumpet I have tried to date, which is a MKW trumpet.

It may just be his internals match my air draw, which is why it don't hurt to try different makers.

Of course I haven't tried every call makers yelper

No offense to either you or this Mr. Hamon, but I'll take over 50yrs experience all day long, over the latest flavor of the month. I will say this though, it doesn't take an exspensive yelper, bone or wood, to call up turkeys.
