Slate or ceramic are going to be the easiest to get consistently good notes out of. A good glass call will run with ease as well. Wood doesn't matter really, but if you stick simple to Walnut it will likely look and sound good.

I HAVE TOO AGREE WITH SLATE AND CERAMIC, A GOOD CERAMIC CALL NOT JUST A CERAMIC CALL
AS FAR AS STRIKERS TOU CANT GET ENOUGH, THEY MAKE DIFFERENT SOUNDS WITH DIFFERENT WOOD TYPES FOR A STRIKER .....GOOD LUCK IN YOUR CHOICES

noisy box call that seems to sound like a flock of juvenile hens pecking their way through a wheat field

Yessir, wood won't matter too much, just tonally changes a few things. If you don't want to go wrong, get you a nice Dymondwood striker, then experiment with different woods after that.

I am a beginner and I have purchased around 12 pot calls that are from different guys and different materials with different strikers and the easiest and best sounding combo that I have is Slate with a dymondwood striker.Snakewood striker is 2nd.good luck Dude

I don’t think anyone gave you bad advice I will agree with what everyone told you .The slate over glass means the surface you will run your striker on is slate and the soundboard is glass.Slate over slate has a slate soundboard and slate playing surface.

I do appreciate all the advice and responses I asked in general section but think I should have asked it here instead I'm wanting a custom call made here in Virginia any recommendations on the better call makers in Virginia i wanna represent my state of Virginia buy buying from a maker here in the state.

I would say a fine built crystal would be way to go ,,, when u find a virginia call builder ask what his recommendation would be on surface for a easy runner and turkey

Jbo225, When you get your call make sure you watch Enticer's Videos on conditioning & how to get the great sound out of a pot call. Guarantee you will thank me! All young hunters should watch them.
