Zach Farmer from Earl Mickel Collection

[Trumpetyelper]

Just before Johnny Morris purchase the Earl Mickel Turkey Call Collection I was able to negotiate this 1994 Zach Farmer Holly Yelper.  I am thrilled to have this piece of history, but it's also a little bitter sweet.  I purchased it assuming there was no shot the collection would remain together, but after hearing that Johnny purchased it I couldn't help but feel extremely luck and a bit guilty. There's also a really cool Lon Ricci story with this trumpet.   On the flip side I will not be donating it back.

I looked at a little of the Mickel collection at Nashville show this past weekend. There was atleast 5 Farmer trumpets there 1 was a I ivory. Lot of history in just what few calls they had there.

How does it compare in sound to other high end trumpets?

[Trumpetyelper]

It's definitely a different style call to use.  I have about 10 hours of video of Zach calling with various trumpets and it sounds like a mouth call at an expert level.   I'm not that good.  Zach's calls aren't meant to be used in the kissing style so you have to abandon the common method of trumpet yelper style.  Again, I don't proclaim to be the authority.

Sorry to disagree but Zach sounds like he has feathers under his shirt. You ought to hear him in the woods!

I'd love to hear a sound file of Mr Farmer running a woodwind!
