If you had to add one new call?
« on: January 20, 2021, 01:47:57 PM »
I usually try to buy atleast one new call each season regardless if I have some already by a certain call maker or not. I’m leaning toward a Halloran Ebony/Walnut box( have his Purple Heart/cedar already). Bought another Halloran pot and a Gibson crow call last season.  Question is, IF YOU HAD TO BUY ONE NEW CALL THIS SEASON WHAT WOULD IT BE?

A trumpet from either Kenny Pedelahore, Billy Buice, or Mark Prudhomme.

Ernie Fetters longbox to get me through both seasons this year. Maybe a trumpet from one of the greats if I was feeling particularly flush.

Trumpet from Billy Buice or a fiddle paddle from Marlin Watkins

I’ll substitute “could” for “had to” to say, if I “could” buy one call right now it’d be a trumpet from Rev. Zach Farmer.

Also, I’ve got a Halloran ebony walnut box and it’s a player. Called two in last year late season gobbling on that box. I’m not very good on a box call, but here’s a sound file of it if you’re interested. https://youtu.be/OeD4Vkhm1-s

Nice gobbling! Yeah I really want the Halloran ebony box. Probably order it and put my Primos Lil Heartbreaker on the shelf. And of course order some other call later in the season based on recommendations here. Seems like if I spread my call purchases out throughout the season I don’t “feel as bad” ha

Nice Choice!

I have a few things on my wish list, and that one is probably the hardest to get!

Really? My dad has a pushpin that I remember from when I was a kid but don’t know who made it. Maybe a knight and hale.

Guess there are a few ways to look at that question. I’ve you have a limited number of calls which I’m assuming is not the case I’d fill the spot it with something I didn’t have. Something to add a niche. Say a higher pitched call or a raspier call, another type call, etc
That being said it sounds like more of a speculation. What call would you add sight unseen or having actually played it? Here’s another thing. All calls with the same specs often don’t sound alike.
I’d look at what I had and fill in whatever I thought I needed to. If you were full and just wanted another call whatever hits you’re fancy button
