[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 5844144, member: 20424"] No I never have. I started making them for myself because I’m pretty hard on them and tend to go a few of them a season. I did make a single reed for a buddy who was struggling to master a diaphragm for the first time. I figured a single reed would be the easiest way to learn, and I’m not sure you can easily buy a single reed call. When I make them for myself, I usually make a double reed with a V notch. Simple design. If you want me to make you one I can. Do you have something specific in mind? I’ll probably get flamed for saying this but I really don’t think the specific tone matters that much. I don’t buy into the idea that some gobblers like a young hen vs. a raspy old hen etc. That’s just marketing to sell more calls IMO. I use one call till it wears out, then switch. I don’t buy the theory that certain gobblers like certain types of calls better. You do need to get a the cadence right and have enough volume to be heard. Beyond that, I personally don’t think much else matters. [/QUOTE]
