Title: John Sinclair CustomCalls Tulipwood & Brass (Soundfile added)
Post by: Sir-diealot on February 13, 2020, 09:35:33 PM
Got my birthday present in that my girlfriend bought for me today, great looking Tulipwood with Brass striking surface. First brass call I have had, I like the way it sounds. Edit: Sounfile under the pictures.

The call came with this persimmon striker and I picked up his waterproof striker as well.

Several people have asked me for a soundfile so here it is. I hate doing soundfiles because I don't feel I am a very good player. I started with the Persimmon Wood Striker that came with the call, then went to the Waterproof Striker then used one of Jeff's (JHL) Frogwood Strikers.

It will cost you a few dozen strikers and a no touch contract but sure, why not?

Thank you. My birthday was Jan. 11 but had to wait for him to get the wood in and all. It was worth the wait. I took that rainproof striker and an old Mad Super Crystal call and held the tip of the striker and the whole call under running water and it played great.

That’s one awesome girlfriend to get you a gift like that. That tulipwood is breathtaking and I am sure the sound is great. I’ve never been disappointed in anything from John.

It sounds great to me, John was surprised because normally this size pot does not sound good with brass but this one wound up sounding very good and unlike most pots that sound better at the edge this one sound better the closer you get to the center. (Sounds real good at the edges as well.)

Thank you. Yea I think we may have talked about it last summer. I have wanted to get one from him for a while. I have a second hand one from him but this is the first I have gotten new. Both sound great.

Thank you very much. Yes she sure is a keeper, cooks and cleans too! (She won't do windows though) Thanks for the good luck wish. I feel horrible making soundfiles, I feel I do not do the maker any favors when I do because I do not feel I play very well.

My friend, you are better than you think. How many gobblers had your hunting boots standing on their head during their last breaths? I just answered your question. Best of luck.....
