The one thing you can garner from watching (and listening) to accomplished callers, is how little effort they put into it...the "less is more" factor.

Yup 👍

LOL you could kill a limit at my bird feeder every day. I would love for someone to come kill some of my squirrels, they chew the crap out of my Maple sap lines.

I'd like one hour alone at your bird feeder.

Some good points brought up. Everyone's experiences may vary. I remember decades ago, famed turkey biologist, Lovette Williams, studied the sounds made by turkeys and sounds made by turkey calls using equipment that measured sound wavelength. Wingbones and trumpets were nearly identical to that of real turkeys.

I think there's something to this and would love to dig into this deeper with someone who has more knowledge. One thing that is worth adding to this thread is my dogs reaction to the trumpet. His ears will twitch and he will turn his head. He will even come up to me and give me the impression that it hurts his ears. I can play a pot call or box call as loud as I want and he is so accustomed to it and he won't even acknowledge it. But a trumpet will drive him crazy. I wonder if our ears aren't hearing the trumpet to the full effect of other animals ears.

This is my take as well. Tone, deflection and decibel level that they put out. It almost sounds hollow to me.
