I stumbled across this write up on Tuning A Short Reed Goose Call.  Hopefully its ok that I link this but it seems informative and hopefully will help some people.

Good article, thanks. I made this a sticky so we can easily find it again.

 :bigup:  Looks like I'm going to have to do some reading later.

I wonder where a person could come across one of those tools, and how much they would cost?   :whistling:

Here ya go parker, looks like he used a clamp like the one in this kit and then drilled it to a piece of stock that he turned round.  I'm gonna have to make me one of these.

 :2up:  Sweet!  I like the variety Woodcraft has.  Surely a 100 pound clamp would be more than enough, right?

Thanks dwk5150
That info was just what I needed it explained a lot as I have been making calls by trial and error for years and you know how long that takes.
