The Art of Handcrafting Custom Game Calls > Turkey Call Making Tutorials
I need serious Help NEW UPDATED!
Jason at JTCCalls,:
I have no idea what i am doing wrong but about 90 percent of calls made don't sounds right. I am not getting the 2 tone break in my yelps.
My distance from toneboard to playing surface is between 1/8 and 3/16.
Does the pedestal over all diameter matter? Does the thickness of the pedestal matter?
My Pedestal is about 1/4 tall.
My playing surface ledge is between 1/8 and 3/16
I can make 2 calls that i think look and feel identical with dimensions and i cannot get the sound. I am getting really discouraged and do not know what to do at all.
Any advice would help.

I know what you mean, I gotta get some time planned to get mine over to KC to look at it. Its just not "right". Sounds like a turkey but it doesn't sound like what i think it should. You could always mail them to him and have him take a look! :devil2:
your dimensions sound exactly like mine (i don't measure when i make them but its really really close on all of them)
Jason at JTCCalls,:
I have a birdseye and a marado call i made and my buddy who is a pro caller said they were great sounding, unfortunately the other 12 that are almost identical inside sound dead. Great clucks and purrs, but the yelp is flat. no rollover at all. I know there is something that will change it but i cannot for the life of figure it out.

Post some pics lets see em it might be something as simple as the space between your surface and the edge of the pot. But yes diameter of your pedistal plays in. How are you holding your surface in place? Sometimes to much presure is not good i just use a decent size can of soup. Also how deep is the inside of your pot? Theres alot of factors that could be playing the part all together along with your SB positioning. If the sb is touching any part of the inside of the pot its dead.

The pedestal's overall width does matter. I would not exceed 1-1/4" overall diameter. Walls about 3/16" thick, maybe a tad bit more. Slate surface ledge not to exceed 1/8" worth of bearing/contact surface.
If you want, mail me one. I'll pick it apart for you. :devil2: Franchifowler....Dude you work 1/4 mile from my house. Just call and stop by!
