"Small Bore" Reelfoot Style Call.......with sound file!
« on: August 15, 2013, 11:50:57 PM »
Well, I'm finally getting into the sweet spot I've been looking for with my small bore metal reed calls.  Been trying to find a good combination of tone channel length, reed length, and reed material to produce a raspier bottom end.  Been fighting my small bore calls having a hint of "baby duck" on the quack!!! lol  This is the 2nd call with this setup and they've both been pretty raspy on the bottom end, thought I'd share and see what everyone else thinks.  Click the picture with the business card to listen.

I am not the greatest caller in the world but it sounds pretty good to me Bear.  Like the looks of the call.

Reelfoot, the original duck call. What's on your lanyard?

Spectacular looks... can't wait to give her a listen.  Is this one going up on ebay?

Thanks guys.  Trying to stockpile some calls to take to Reelfoot in October, so this one will probably not make it to Ebay unless it's after Reelfoot and it doesn't find a home there!!!

Bear, that just might be as good a sounding duck as I have heard. Beautiful work buddy.

Your call arrived this morning.  Fit, finish, and sound are simply outstanding!  I couldn't be more excited.  Though I'll show it off on a shelf with other prized calls, it will definitely be used!  It sounds too good to leave at home!

I'll edit with a picture or two later today, so others can drool like I am.

Here it is, in all its glory!
