Trumpets from Nashville 2019

Post by Hoobilly »

Bought two trumpets from the big show..

one of which is a Ralph Permar (Oldgeezer on the forums) and a Matt McLain. Both are turkey

The Permar I have wanted one for many years.. I guess im a procrastinator but better late than never.

Image


here Ralph is talking with Steve Luma (who makes excellent running and stunningly beautiful works of art)

Image

After buying the Permar and just around the corner was Matt Mclains booth. Went to lunch and then came back to Having heard of his calls, and not running one I just had to try a couple out. I really liked the one with the beveled tip. While I was there Steve Luma came to Matts booth set down and popped out a few of his trumpets. Steve impressed me with his craft. I left thinking I would be able to go home with just one trumpet, but I came back a hour later and bought it.. When I walked and bought the McLain trumpet Steve told me I knew you were gonna come back and buy that. I asked him if the one he showed me earlier was still for sale and he laughed and said he sold it already. :slap:

Sweet looking pair of trumpets, real nice figure in the wood on the McClain trumpet.

what wood did you get and how do you like the angled MP so far?

Those are both nice trumpets. I hunt with a McClain at least a couple times a year.

Nice pair of killers. Permar is a master craftsman for sure.

Matt makes a killer trumpet. I need to get another from him. At first I was not happy cause I could not play it well, but just a tiny adjustment on the lip stop and man she came alive! Great trumpets!

That’s one thing I noticed right away. Just small movement on the lipstop changes everything.

They are sweet! I guess the Moderators will be receiving theirs in the mail any day for all the hours of hard enduring work that is done on this site keeping the Bad Boys straight!

Thanks Brice, YOU'RE #1

So whats the difference with the trumpets is it just a look thing. I have 2 trumpets and have played a couple they all seem to be turkey so why some over others is it just the look is that why you pay more for certain ones ?

I ask because I felt the same about box calls. I have a couple fancy ones but they don't play any better than the cheap Quaker Boy I bought when I first started. So is it just a look thing?

Some are easier to play that others and some have been tones than others.

There is a world of difference in different trumpets. Some take a lot of air to run, which makes them loud, while others take less air and can be played quieter. Also, internal dimensions and length vary from maker to maker which effects tone and pitch. And some just sound more "turkey" than others.

Interesting info makes sense. That would make it tough to sort through them to see what you like.

Beautiful trumpets! Congratulations!

Ralph makes a helluva good trumpet. I called up 18 old gobblers last season with one of his hex trumpets in Blackwood and ivory.

Those are great looking trumpets! How does the angled mouth piece compare to a straight one?
