Unfortunately its a trail and error deal. I would suggest finding which "cut" you play the best and go from there. Eventually you will find some keepers.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
Check out Rolling Thunder's new lines. They have some fantastic calls in their new lineup. I've been impressed and found a couple I love. Think you can get 10% off your first order and free shipping right now too.
Some of us can reach the point of "anality" where we are never quite satisfied with a call. I call it the "search for the holy grail" of mouth calls. Sounds like you are there, MG. I was there myself for a long time,...and still am to a degree,...but the way I finally got away from spending waayyy too many dollars on mouth calls was to start making them myself. From your description of where you are at, I would suggest that might be your best course of action.
Jim Clay of Perfection Turkey Calls has been making mouth calls for nearly 50 years. Most mouth calls today are made on a jig where each diaphragm is stretched to the same tension. Jim stretches each diaphragm individually to get a truly custom made mouth call. It really does make a difference in the way the call responds to the caller using it when, for example, the bottom diaphragm is not stretched as tightly as the top. He also makes a stacked frame call that is of a much lower profile than others on the market. Give him a call and tell him what you are looking for in a mouth call and he can make it exactly how you want it.
