im really like the limited run pinhoti crystal this year....running it with JLH frog...mahoe and carbon
I primarily use mouth calls and push-pins, but when I do use a pot call, it depends on weather conditions:
Clear/Calm day: Slates are my go to pots, ie Cody Spec 1 or World Class, Platz Maple Slate (Snakewood or Black Night Striker)
Windy/Wet day: Screamin Demon Crystal, Brad Roberts Bronzed Glass (Weatherproof Carbon striker, Snakewood if dry)
Crystal (Twisted Sister) and a one piece purpleheart striker (Halloran)
I'm torn right now. I am really digging the ceramic surface... but crystal is near and dear to me. It just sounds so good.
My Purple Heart pot / crystal surface - my 1 piece dywood striker
My Wormy persimmon / Ceramic - my 2 piece dymondwood striker (maple top)
Crystal and gray slate are my favorite surfaces. Hard to beat a Halloran twisted sister or crystal mistress. As far as grey I like my platz cherry and Cody world class.
Crystal (Crystal Mistress) and a one piece Purpleheart striker from David Halloran
That striker really brought the call to life.
