Some snakewood and blackwood callers
« on: May 19, 2019, 10:34:59 AM »
Some snakewood and blackwood...plus one maccasar caller ...these sound even better than they look thanks to the design and materials of the hand laid soundboard and hand tuned special design peg

All are spoken for, before anyone asks ...... , there is aprox 3 year wait [May of 2019] , if you would like a caller send me you full name address and PHONE NUMBER , and what type of caller you want , and I'll place you on a list for 1 call ..if unsure what you want let me know it's okay.

Calls are based on materials cost ,snakewood lumber has gone through the roof ! 2019 snakewood was $200 , it will likely be more...I will not be absorbing the rising  cost of snakewood into my calls I make. And the ENTIRE call is made from it minus the thin soundboard ...not just the lid or striker ...So be forewarned it could possibly go much much higher in $$   just explaining it up front- snakewood is notoriously hard to work with and difficult to get in the bigger sizes un-checked or cracked

African Blackwood callers I started this year , for those of you who dont know blackwood is a member of the rosewood family of trees ...it is renowned for its musical qualities in instruments etc..they have a amazing resonance and are KILLERS I get 160 for those , they look like candy to ...very...very nice -


, I worked very hard to get waiting list down down I dont like having folks waiting for long periods for a caller cause that's BS , I worked my regular job 60 hrs a week.  Then every weekend I wasn't hunting sun up sun down and even my vacations.... with that said it was at 7 years last year I've hammered it down to 3 years

Hey....thanks for looking ! Shannon Kelly

I think the maccasar call is the one I got in the mail on Friday. It looks and sounds fantastic. Shannon does an incredible job on these calls. It was worth the wait and worth every penny. Thanks Shannon!
