The Lamar misdrilled box is one he keeps in his shop that he wont sell without someone actually  playing it themselves , before he will sell it to them . He refers to them as shop boxes . Mine just happened to be misdrilled  . So sometimes  a box won't run on one end ( side )  as well as on the other , so when they drill the hole on the opposite end it comes alive so they plug the hole and have a misdrilled  box . This also happens on a call built  by a righthanded callmaker but played by a left handed person .

Derek Tereza Ironwood over Japanese Persimmon. Richard Hudson Snakewood over English Walnut. 2 completely different sounds. I would take either with 100 percent confidence.

Anything by Mike Lapp. The guy just does not make a call below excellent, no matter the style or the wood.

I still have a lot to learn so just going on what I own and have played at Turkey Trot Acres at the NorthEast Call Makers Summit the last 2 times it has gone on I would say my Marlin Watkins calls I have based on both sound and ease of uses. I personally have yet to play one that plays as easily as his and is as comfortable in my messed up hands.
