I will add to the topic- not having a lot of years of trumpet calling but having trumpets from a lot of different makers, for me, Hornstras are the easiest to play and with that they have a natural rasp that most others don't...for me. Not debating who makes the best caller because I really like Buice, Cox, Permar, KP, Prudhomme, Townsend and several others. But Hornstra callers are just so easy for me to play that I would recommend anyone starting out to save the money and purchase one. Hope this helps.
