I just ordered my 2nd trumpet. its a billy buice African blackwood with a number 5 screw in delrin mouth piece. I also ordered a #3 corian to go with it. a few months ago I received my 1st trumpet. it is a osage with a #3 and #4 delrin screw in mouth piece. I have practiced daily since I got it and have gotten really good with it honestly. I would hunt with it in a heart beat and know by continuing to practice I will only get better. I have to say I really enjoy playing it and I really liked the challenge of perfecting it. anyone with a blackwood trumpet , what is your opinion of it and how is the pitch compared to the osage?
