Building a call specifically for soft talk

Hey y'all, I am trying to make a call to run in contests for my tree call and purr. I can get both of these sounds out of my regular all around call, but I am looking for something that I can be more consistent with when I am doing the soft stuff. Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated. I have a feather ridge pro comp press and on average I stretch between 160 and 200 for my calls that I do my cutting and yelping on.

Thanks again,

The Grizz Friction Wood Call is made for the soft talk I would say. He is here and also can be found on Facebook here. https://www.facebook.com/grizzfrictionwoodcalls/ Sorry I just reread this and realized you are wanting to make a mouth call.

If you havent tried using a two reeded call I'd start there. My thinking being that it takes less air pressure to fire the call, leading to softer sounds.

I don't use your type of press, so I cant comment on how tightly you're stretching, but a lighter stretch could also possibly help as well.

For soft calls I use a Houndstooth ghost cut.

I really like my Houndstooth Deep Beak for soft calls and purring.  May want to look into it?

im also new to making calls, but I recently started building 2 reed batwings with .150 stretch and they are soundind pretty good especially soft calls

Two reed with your choice of cut.  Everyone has their preferred cut.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.
