Does anyone have pics of a Marlin Watkins misfit box call they could share? Thanks.

Ok fellas, excuse my ignorance but what makes a Misfit a Misfit? I have a dozen or so of Mr. Watkins calls and I'm not familiar with the Misfit.

Thanks in advance! DD  :OGturkeyhead:

It's a handled fiddle box. I received this one a few days ago. I really like the design. Of course it sounds awesome like all of Marlins calls.

I was wondering the same thing. I believe I like the handled version better.

Never seen a Watkins box, maybe I'll get to see some at Unicoi.

Crenshaw..... thanks very much! Right in front of my eyes! I guess I'm gonna need one or two of them now! LOL.

How would you compare them to a regular fiddle as far as sound and playability sir?  :jackson:

wchadw, it sounds awesome. The misfit design is easier to play the way I hold and play boxes.
