full disclosure I know all I a man should know about pot calls and diaphragms, however I have just never cared for box calls or wanted to use one.......till recently lol.
thinking about switching it up some this year and getting one to carry every now and then. Ive used a few Halloran ones and actually really like them but dont care to spend $145 on a call I plan to use sparingly (unless someone has one they are willing to get ride of on a deal)
any other recommendations out there for others a little cheaper but have the same type qualitys of that those (sturdy, doesnt feel cheap, sounds good, non production HS Strut or primos type)
UPDATE - got my call from Bill today and wow man it blew away my expectations on quality of build and overall look (looks even better then his website) and sounds amazing. He was one of the nicest fellows to talk to on the phone (reminds me a lot when I use to call and talk to Harold Fowler on the phone).
I called and asked me what he recommended based on what I wanted sound wise and placed the order. He called me that night saying after he ran the call before shipping he didnt feel it had the rasp I was looking for and said he would rather send me a slightly different one if I trusted him to do so.
Again the overall quality is amazing and after seeing it and playing it I wouldnt ever guess he charges as little as he does for his calls. The inlay and design is just fantastic wood work. Any one looking for a box to try out I highly suggest him or at least just call and chat with him. http://www.bbcustomboxcalls.com/
