Stabilized Cob Yelper

[ChesterCopperpot]

Wound up with a stabilized cob and so I started fooling around with it seeing if I could turn it into something. Don't have any tools to speak of so I did most of the shaping with sandpaper. Staggered out the interior with a hand drill and then tapered it from the bell end with a file in the drill. Turned out kind of cool and sounds good. Snow goose mouthpiece. I'll try to make a sound file of it later once I'm past the coffee drinking stage of the day.

That's pretty neat.

Looks great.  Hope you call in one with it.

  Like that a lot. Congrats, looks like a budding yelper maker arrived on the scene...

Here's a sound file of it. Not real happy with the clucks and cuts out of it, but it might make a fine tree yelper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FspDJV3_OHg

Pretty cool looking David. I would imagine the soft insides of the cob will make it a subtle call. Nothing wrong with that.

I think you're right, Tony. I sealed the inside of the cob once I bore it out thinking that might harden it some but it's still a really soft sound. Wondered too if I should've shortened it some to make it quicker and less throaty. I think if I try the cobs again I'll try to figure out a way to make them two piece like a Roanoke call. Nice thing about them is that like wingbones and cane I don't need many tools to fool with them.

Maybe a brass sleeve in the inside of the cob would brighten the tone.

I like that idea. Also made me wonder what Ralph Permar is doing on the cob trumpets he's turning.

That's a good lookin call. I like that you used a snow goose bone, seems to be a better size that a turkey bone; except maybe a hen bone but they seem hard to come by. It might be a little weird knowing what corn cobs were used for back in the day-ha ha. It does look sharp though. If ya like playing around with suction calls I found a source for delrin mouth pieces the other day at "Grassy Creek game calls". I ordered a few and already made a few hybrid cane yelpers.
