I just got a Gulp from Mr. Lewis (Pappy).  I have never ran one before but it's pretty simple and it can get loud. I like that brass insert, I think that gives it a bit of a ring.

I'd be interested in one if you do.

Not a double baffle, but an acrylic tube.

I have a cheap plastic one from Houndstooth Game Calls that is SUPER loud. It might get you started until you get a custom one. Or you could just stick with it. They are only $10

Wow, I could not imagine taking out a tube call as my only call. Some mornings it is chilly and trying to run a tube call can not have good results. Mouth diaphragm, friction call, tube call, box call, scratch box, and trumpet takes minimal room. Adding a tube call is a good idea for sure........If you are looking for a tube call Pappy is the way to go, as he will work with you and try to match you up with the style tube to fit your wants.......Good Luck

Pappy.   :TooFunny:     Here we go.....  :popcorn:

Probably cuz I started making them 2 years ago. Went public this year.  Have not posted one on here myself because of what you did last time with my hollow snakewood striker ......So........ please stay seated.
