They are old stock.   The manufacturer discontinued them over a year ago and that style is no longer available.

If that tells you anything...........

Save your money, and tell any customer you may have.....they should learn how to use a mouth call and get a tube.

I'm telling you......those kits are POOR. 

If I could make a bugle call that sounded as good, or better than a mouth call, I could sell them QUICKLY. 

There's just no way to 'turn' a functional, easy to carry tube for a mouth call. 

No, I am not an expert elk caller or elk hunter.  I am just listening to my customers, and learning how to use the calls that are available in the market.

They are a big pain to tune. Bulky, Yeah, but I haven't seen a bugle that isn't.  That reed has to be perfect (and perfect is not straight)  or it wont bugle.
