Hodge Podge of calls..
« on: March 03, 2011, 04:12:11 PM »
















Here's a look at a few calls I've put together the past month or so.  Range from turned cow horn howlers, to horn tips, to solid maple "Faux" cow horns. - Entire howler is Maple, including the toneboard (bottom photo).  Sorry to bore you.  Thanks for looking!

Great set of calls Dave! What kind of mouthpieces are those big white ones?

 :eek:  That's a LOT of outstanding work!  Those white mouthpieces caught my eye too!  I'm interested to hear about them.  Never seen anything like that.

I take a ELK Power Howler, remove the mouth piece and modify.  Then I carefully attach them to a modified horn.  Not an easy task.  I learned quite a bit working with these. It's a real balancing act. A step in the wrong direction, and the horn sounds awful!  The mouth pieces alone cannot be bought unfortunately. -But then everyone would be doing them. ::)
I've seen some good ones.  But I've also seen some poorly made one.  The concept is akin to a turkey tube call using a latex band.

 :up1:  Looks like a comfortable calling system.  I'm sure they sound great in your setups if you're using them.
