I just want to start by saying I LOVE CERAMIC. It's without a doubt my favorite surface. I discovered it back in 2011 shortly after I got into the custom call market.  I started looking for the perfect ceramic pot. I've bought pots with ceramic surfaces by Ryan Bonjour, Joe Slaton, Pappy Lewis, Andy Kaiser, David Halloran, Ricky Padgett, Paul Durham, Brad Roberts, American Strutter, John Sinclair, Jimmy Shaeffer, Kimmy Hanks, Gary Anderson, Chad Hutchinson, Lyle from Houndstooth and a couple others who's name I can't remember now.  I've bought well over 20 ceramic pots looking for that perfect blend of rasp, volume, and having a great 2 note rollover in the help.  I won't say a bad thing about any of them but I have only kept a few of those.

If I were to give you a top 5 list it would look similar to this.
1. Chad Hutchinson (stumpy) / Gary Anderson (daybreak)
2. Paul Durham
3. David Halloran
4. Houndstooth
5. American Strutter

Bottom Line is on every hunt either the Stumpy sycamore or the Gary Anderson padauk is in my vest. Get yourself either of those pots and you can not go wrong.

I like a Padauk from Daybreak and a Mahogany from Stumpy.  One could take both calls on the same outing and not be overlapping.  They sound very different and both very good in the sound they are trying to get.

I'm NOT a fan of ceramic but there's an Andy Kaiser Curly Maple ceramic  in my vest as I type this. It plays super easy and has a very sharp rollover. I'd recommend that call to anyone who does or doesn't like ceramic.

I bought one back in 2011 and it was the last thing several longbeards heard before their beak hit the dirt. I passed it on to my younger brother this fall, and it will be in his vest this spring. GREAT call.

Moy Howard (dead bird walking calls) makes a sweet ceramic pot. I am not sure if he still makes calls. I will never part with this call it's awesome.

I too love ceramic. Have several but my favorite is from Nathan Taylor in a birdseye pot.

Another vote for Stumpy's ceramic sycamore. I have Paul Durham and Twyatt pots but not in ceramic and they are both great call makers
