Where can I get the trumpet lip stops?

My MKW stop is getting loose and sliding too easy

Might be able to contact the maker and get ya another one or three.

When the rubber dries out the trumpet is useless. Just send it to me.

Exactly, like a condom. Learned the hard way leaving them on the dash. Have a buddy paying child support for my mistake...

Give me a dones pill can and a piece of latex for real Hen talk.

Make one your self take a wine stopper drill a 3/16 hole through it put a piece of 1/4" rod in a drill slide it on and a piece of course sand paper only take a min. and you can shape it any way you want.

thats a great idea

I will have find me some cork!

You can also make them fron the rubber corks from Lowes too.

You can buy a box of hard rubber faucet washers at Home Depot for a couple of bucks. Not as long as rubber stoppers, but pre-drilled and work (and look) just fine as lip stops. Gil

Gill you can get wine stoppers predrilled on ebay. Find a small enough metal rod and chuck it up in a drill. Get some 80 grit sand paper and roll it up in a ball about as big around as a dime. Use that to shape your stop. Then use smaller grit like 200 and 400 to finish sand. Then with heavy rag and carnuba wax grip rubber while still turning. This will polish it

Being a newbie here, so please pardon my ignorance, what call does a trumpet replace? Mouth call or slate pot to finish? Or a box call or glass pot for longer range calling?

If you learn to play a trumpet you don't need any other call.

All of them as said.

It can replace all
Or use in conjunction with others

One thing about a trumpet is that they can cut the wind without being super aggressive on the calling
