Darrin came up with an original and unique take on a single side box. It's not very often you see new ideas for traditional designs. This one meets and surpasses all expectations. Great design and sounds great! Thanks Darrin.

2 very nice looking one siders,, I like them................

Great looking calls Matt. Wish I could have made it.
-
Wow! I didn't see those but I got his new design short box. Darren's calls are as good as they get and he's one heck of a nice guy. I've gotten calls from him every single year. Congrats Matt!
-
Thats cool
-
Great looking calls!!
-
Soft or loud, it'll do it all.
-
he's also started making some great sounding plain side and groove side calls too.

More great looking calls!! Any chance for a soundfile?
-
Bump for a great callmaker
-
I like them
-
I'm on his list for a groove box,,,for those that have them do you see any difference in sound between them and his checkered ones.
-
Darrin has both plain side and groove side callers sounding great. They have a little something extra that the checkered calls don’t in my opinion. That’s not to say the checkered calls aren’t fantastic, cause they are. I believe he will even tell you that. Call him.

90% of the time when you checker even a paddle or lid on a cost style box, it loses a little resonance. At least to my ear.
Darrin makes awesome calls for sure.

They are beautiful calls. Congratulations!

I hate to say this because I'm about as far away from an expert as you could get but I have developed an interest in the one siders and do believe that what makes them unique is where they hinge. It seems like when you hinge them in the corner you only have one rail to deal with and it maybe makes it easier to tune or just sound better to my ear. If your gonna hinge it in the middle you might as well keep both rails usable. Again this is just a quick observation and I'm sure Darrin has a reason that I can't even comprehend. Either way there some nice looking boxes that anyone would be proud to own including myself.

Have you ran one of Darrin’s?
-
No. I'm on his list but haven't received one yet. I'm not trying to challenge him in any way-I know his calls are phenomenal.
-
Ok, I’ll let him know you want yours to hinge on the corner. :icon_thumright:
-
Yeah, you do that. And tell him to hurry up too.
-
Will do!

What I've been told you get a shorter more realistic yelp hinged in the middle. When its hinged in the corner the yelp is a little more dragged out in the front and it looks like the way the sides cut in on the lid it allows the paddle to close more. Darrin didnt just design it to be different theres a reason.

Well said talking with TJ Johnson he told me that design is a pretty involved call to make, harder than a two sided call. If you guys want to hear one designed that way go to TJs Facebook page he has a video of a smoker on his page in that design.
