Great Guys on this site!!!!!!  When you get your strikers, try them on the call but it looks as if the surface isn't conditioned enough.  Give them a go and if the sound isn't what you think it should be, then get back to us.  A good scuffing with a conditioning stone or drywall screen should bring out the sound in the Cody glass.
Thank you for this. I will try that. It's kind of scuffed but not all on the surface. Mainly middle.

I was thinking the same thing about how it was conditioned.. No matter the striker it will need a good conditioning... Here is an example of a crystal call and the placement and depth of how I condition it..

Wow I learned something new here. Guess I need to find a tutorial or an address to send mine to an expert.

All you need is a conditioning stone plenty of guys sell them.. Average cost is around 7$ It's really simple just back and forth in  one direction.

Course drywall screen works well too.  I use 120 grit and I always have a piece in my vest for quick touch ups.
