Title: Clean sounding mouth calls?
Post by: RiverRoost on February 27, 2020, 10:27:38 PM
Most of all of my mouth calls have a raspier sound than that soft clean sound of a slate. I like them like that bc I can work a bird good or cut at him or get loud but I'm looking for a cleaner help. I feel like I'm pretty decent on mouth calls but can't remember which cut or how many reeds I like over another one. Is there a particular brand or cut or style mouth call I should try.

Try Gooserbat's Public Land Special - Clear yelp, think that would fit your need.

Ghost or bat for me for the clear sound.

Contact Scott at Osceola game calls and tell him you want a relaxed stretch 2 reed no cut and you will get what your looking for. I use them to close all my turkey hunts with some soft clear yelps when they are in close.

He is on facebook also.  Call: (321) 258-5633

Just run what you have upside down.

All of the above are good suggestions and any of them might (or might not) work.  One of the best methods I have found for achieving what you are looking for is to modify one of you current calls by changing the reed configuration/cuts or removing reed material. 

I have made some of my best clear-sounding calls by doing nothing more than grasping the very outside edge of the top reed and popping off some of the material,...and continuing to do that with all of the reeds until I get the sound I am looking for.  Pop off a tiny bit of reed material,...try the call,...and pop off some more.  Eventually you should get the sound where you want it.  I have calls that I end up with raggedy-edged reeds that have 1/3 of the original reed material left that sound fantastic and are really easy to run.

For those trying to get a really good clear and/or soft yelp and/or "tree call" sound, this method works great.  It is also a really good use of calls that you have basically relegated to the "never gonna use these" pile.  You will be surprised at how those calls will change when you modify the reeds or pop-off the reed material.  Try it!

Not sure if you mean you want to know what cut works best for you, but this kit was very helpful to me.
