I had the pleasure of obtaining two Mike Lapp Push Pin calls and I must say I am very impressed!
Wood – 1 - Cherry
1 - Poplar
• Quality and workmanship are outstanding. These are beautiful calls!
Sound
• Both calls offer that unique, realistic, and consistent sounds from yelps, clucks and purrs.
• The purr is sweet even when done in that soft come see me whisper.
• The notes are clear and crisp both on the front and back end of the call. Yet maintains that woodsy natural sound.
• These are quality calls that will talk Turkey all day long for sure.
Disclaimer: No disrespect implied or intended to any other call maker of Push Pin calls but these are the best I have! When I am lucky enough to obtain some other calls I would be happy to write a review but there again it would be my opinion.
Beauties my friend. Killers for sure.......

Man those are some nice calls.
Did you get to choose the type of wood?
I'd love to hear a sound file or video of these things.

Here's one Mike was going to put in the burn pile.
Offered it to me as a gift then started fiddling with it.
Before long, magic hands brought it around.
It's in my collection and will hunt...
Rosewood...

I think the only thing that saved it was it's beauty.
I just happened to show up and it caught my eye so I asked about it. He said take it. It's going in the burn pile.
I played it and it was fine with me but not good enough for Mr. Perfection.
Mike started fiddling with it and before long, he had it singing a tune!
That changed the dynamic from a giveaway to a sale, which I felt much more comfortable about...

From bottom up...
Rosewood, mineral stained poplar, cherry (Mike found that cherry in the woods on a Spring hunt) and spalted maple.
They all have a meaningful inscription on the back.

No question in my mind that you'll be happy with whatever you get from Mike.
Each of mine has a slightly different sound but each one is turkey and it's not just me who thinks that. A number of turkeys have agreed.
Rosewood IS a great looking call, I have to concur.
