Trumpet

[Iglow]

Here's a good example of what I was talking about with 2 note call vs the 1 note call.

Darryl Slaton ol TN boy makes a good one.

He lives about 45 minutes from me, he's delivering a new acrylic to me friday.

 

[Iglow]

Here's one I made about 5 years ago that sounds ok, I make 1 or 2 every spring and some are ok and others sound like crap and I don't know why.

About 6:30 into it.

Here's a pic of an original Jordan caller, probably the rarest of the rare. Made sometime before 1909.

Dang that guy is good too! I need to work on getting raspy yelps out of my wingbones. I'm good at clear, sharp yelps but I think being able to switch it up to be raspy is a game changer. Normally I only can get raspy with mouth calls.

VERY FEW people can run a suction type call as good as Mark Prudhomme. He's put in the time and he is 110% legit.

Spit into the mouth pcs then try.

Here's Turpin's instructions on making a caller.

View attachment 217221The tried and true homemade one I did about 10 years ago. It's been responsible for at least one turkey a year. No fancy threads or paint but jb weld to hold it together and it does great.

Did you "boil/simmer" the bones to clean them of meat and tissue?
I made one a couple years ago but macerated (rotted the tissue off in warm water). It sounds amazing and I haven't fancied it up yet either, although I have plans to use the other side to get all fancy with.

Id like to hear it against one made using hotter water to clean it. I know for a fact there is a difference in bone structure but curious if the sound is noticeable.

Hope that made sense on the prep part.

No, I took an air compressor and got it cleared out and then just scraped the rest off. I remember there being dried up tissue on it forever. About the only "prep" I did was to sand the mouthpiece end a little so it wouldn't cut my lip.

Have y'all ever come across any suitable substitute for a hen wingbone for the mouthpiece part?

Toy Simpson use to use goose wingbone , they actually sounded decent, just was butt ugly!

I've tried brass tubing and aluminum tubing, I've got some 3/16 od/ 1/8 id white plastic tube on order. Hen wingbones are hard to come by now.

 

[Iglow]

I used my last hen wingbone to make this one by Tom Turpins instructions. The glue is drying now.

 

[ROVERBOY]

I've never used a trumpet call but, have made several wingbones and called in several birds with them. If I had a wood lathe, I would make one and try it.

Easy there "satchmo"

Just finished this caller, a remake of the first one I made in 1993 ( I lost it ). I used the original to kill my first one April 3rd of that year.
