Posted for our very own Crow:
Thank you paboxcall
This is an unfinished prototype I have been working on,
it has a trumpet mouthpiece that you blow air thru instead of using as the traditional suction yelper. should be just the thing for those that always want to blow air thru their yelpers.
totally different sound that should be great on hard hunted public ground, great natural rasp and easy to get Kee Kee's
if you spent any time with a real trumpet in grade school you will have a head start on other hunters
Neat looking devise, would like to hear it when you get the chance. I never played the trumpet, but have been told I am full of hot air a time or two.

Say Crow, that mouth piece isn't made of Mccaster is it. Hahaha!!! Very interesting, I'd like to hear some sounds out of it as well.

No not McCaster, this unfinished pictured prototype is the basic entry level model and is only offered with a metal trumpet mouthpiece.
A lighter weight Deluxe version is also in the works, McCaster wood M.P.'s will be offered in the deluxe version (when available).
Does it work on those very old, long spurred gobblers?

well turkeys being turkeys of course there is no written guarantee,
but if someone was willing to put the time in....
Hopefully this one works better than others I have tried. I have blew and blew them with no sound!
I'm going to hold out for the convertible version so you can both blow and suck!
Crow that is different and I like it! :icon_thumright:
Louie Armstrong gives it two thumbs up :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:
I would love to get 2. I am in no hurry but would love to have a macaster by next spring if possible. Also I have 2 Platz and 2 Corder glass calls I would trade for one if anybody has one.

A very common mistake is to use too much air, don't blow thru it like your trying to spit a wad of Redman tobacco off the front porch,
use only enough air like your trying to get a chicken feather off the kitchen table

If you don't have a preference what country it comes from that will help speed up delivery.
McCaster from the Scottish bogs is not really more plentiful, it's just that the Irish can sometimes be difficult to deal with, I know this because my wife is Irish and can sometimes be more difficult to deal with.
Dang! I was hoping I could get the Tazmanian mcCaster as I heard it sounds better and is prettier. I heard there was a bill passed about not being able to cut down Tazmanian McCaster trees so I was hoping I could get it before it became illegal.
Just to clarify, aholes, I know there is no such thing as Mccaster from the Scottish bogs, but there is a wood called bog wood from the bogs.

Crow , can I change my moutpiece to a bogwood?

No problem,
but with it being one of the lightest yet strongest woods available I expect it to be in demand with the growing trend of those ditching their turkey vests in favor of the lighter weight satchel crowd
P.S. How much does that Platz call weigh?
Roughly 8 ounces. It would be great to shed the additional 5 ounces. It would make a world of difference on a 100 yard hike.

If you are serious about shedding that last stubborn 5 ounces, I have another yelper in the works,
"The Minimalist".
It is actually an old old design that I think the time is right to bring back to the forefront, it may be just the thing for those getting rid of their vest and satchel to lighten the load.

Was he a turkey hunter?
Man , I need to have a look. Is it available in ultra lite MaCaster?
Spitting and Drumming, you ain't spelling it right. It's McCaster !!!

Haha. Well its kinda like dymond wood vs diamond wood if you know what I mean. I just thought MaCaster and McCaster were the same family of wood.
Hahaha!!! :agreed:
