If you measure the reed with a caliper, and let Stump know what the length is, I bet he would likely be able to tell you if it were trimmed or not.

Yep.....trimmed.  Which would explain the high pitch issue

Should it be 1.5"? I can cut a new reed.

I simply cut a longer reed and use a foam nail file and sand the back of the reed to dial it in where I want it boss.
You can always send it to me and just cover shipping and I'll buff it and tune her all up to run

I think I'll just send it on over to you sir. I guess it'd be kind of pointless for me to tune a call until I learn to run one right. How much do you need for return shipping? I'll send it to you Monday.

I must apologize, I reread this post and It was so rude of me! I never meant to assume that I could jump in here with a sound file and expect Stump to review it and comment about it without asking proper to him. I should kick myself in the butt because I would if my kids did this! 
I apologize to Stump for sounding like I was taking advantage of his kindness to help anyone become a better caller or call maker.

So let me try this correctly

Stump, would mind taking a few minutes and revue  my sound file and give me some advice and or tips to become a better call operator.
Thanks in advance

I'll be getting back in town soon Ron.  Sound quality on my cell isn't the best to really give you a critique.  I'll take a good listen and let you know boss

Lets talk the quacks and strings and not the feed.  Quacks kill ducks plain and simple.  I can hear the rattle in the call when you start the note but from the squeaks and high tones it sounds like you struggle with pushing the air and gating the notes.  Am I correct?

If i understand what you are saying, the first part of the quack starts out good but i need to continue to push the same amount of Air and pressure though the note and break it off quick?  I am tapering both down from the start of it to the end of it.

You nailed it Ron...There is a point where you push forward pressure into the call hince the squeaks and high tones.  Learning to control your air to eliminate than we call driving the call.  It is easier to learn this with medium to low volume work.  Doing high volume calling prior to learning to drive a call normally causes one to constrict their throat to push air into the call.  Practice at a medium to low volume until the muscle memory is developed sir
