Another player from Toby Kock
« on: July 18, 2020, 12:15:24 PM »
My second longbox from Toby Kock showed up in my mailbox this past Monday.

When we spoke on the phone about the first one, I told him it had to be cedar over butternut.  Toby told me that was fine, but he had really been liking cedar over alder.  So I told him "Just build me one of those, too".

The alder wood, itself is pretty open grained.........a lot along the lines of sassafras.  And it has a holographic quality to it, here and there.  Toby's tuning is incredible !!  The alder call is a bit more mellow, overall, where the butternut call has a bit more sharpness to the tone.  Both roll over with nearly the same "yawk" just the alder starts a whisker lower so the finish is not quite the drop of the butternut.  But to the casual, untrained ear.......... I could pass one call off as the other.  Remarkable !!

My personal preference.........the butternut over the alder by the smallest of margins.  But, noooooo.............the alder call ain't for sale.    ;D ;D ;D

Like that! Congrats on the killer calls!

Nice, I am very happy with my cedar over poplar from him. He has been a joy to get to know and deal with. I am on his list for another , he has been sending pictures and some sound files. That alder makes a nice contrasting call. Haven’t decided what I want next lol.
