AGE Trumpet

[The Cohutta Strutter]

Gabon ebony, buffalo horn mouthpiece. Fine materials, design, sound, it's all there. Just too well done by a local call maker Anthony Ellis to let get away. This one is staying in Murray Co. Thanks Anthony!

Anthony makes some awesome calls

That's a dandy right there. My Ellis Trumpet looks and sounds great. He's come out of nowhere this past year, and is making some turkey killin calls.

 

[The Cohutta Strutter]

I couldn't agree more fellers ! Anthony and his calls deserve to be on the radar for potential buyers and he is a heck of a nice feller.

 

[antnye]

I had to buy the hat separate, but the calls helped supply the hat band

Swing by the shop next week timber and I'll hook you up with a hat. Uncle Steve keeps a couple straw hats in his truck. I'll steal you one.

I usually go see Lonnie this time of year, but I may have to shop local this year. Very nice looking calls Chobrown.

[ryanwhit]

That's a nice looking trumpet for sure!

 

[Timber1]

I think he should retire then I would have some collectables.

Is there any difference in the sound between the different woods?

 

[The Cohutta Strutter]

I've never noticed any drastic difference but then again I've never run a trumpet out of wood that was considered low on the hardness scale so I don't know. Probably has more to do with the overall design of the trumpet than anything. I think if you were to take two different types of wood that were close together on the hardness scale and you made them the exact same design then they would have a very similar sound. My pennies worth and take it for just that as I'm not a call maker.

 

[antnye]

Strutter is right. Wood hardness and grain texture make a great deal of sound difference. As well as design. Softer woods will yelp but the note will not be as pronounced and sharp, almost muffled. Harder tighter grain woods are optimal. And finish will make a difference as well.

Is it better to have them finished or unfinished...Inside? Outside? What finish is preferred?

Thanks
