Ken, I've used both the small and large bellows that Al sells.  I personally like the small bellows better.  No difference in sound between the two.  I just like the way the smaller bellows look on my calls.  As far as I know, those are the only type bellows available.

I like the large ones for what its worth, you cant shake and chatter the smaller ones from what I have experienced.  I like to be able to chatter and shake em as well as a bark.   If you are going for looks, thats one thing, function, I would go with the large ones. I make at least 75 of these a year.
