Title: Halloran Box Call Question
Post by: Jbhsgs3699 on March 30, 2018, 01:44:37 PM
Have a Macassar Ebony/Walnut currently, love it, thinking about getting another box call from David. Which one would you recommend I purchase? Purpleheart/Cedar, Macassar Ebony/Black Limba or some other combo?

Thanks
Jay

Purpleheart over Cedar.  Those two boxes are his best IMO.

If David has any Chestnut ask him to make you a Mac Ebony over Chestnut.  I bought from David when he was a kid and first started out and to this day it's one of the best sounding boxcalls I've ever owned/heard.  Still kicking myself in the arse fir selling it.   :character0029:

David seems to build his calls real aggressive sounding, loud and raspy

Either you love em or hate em

I LOVE my Ebony Walnut. His boxes to me are great. Definitely have a raspy realistic high low sound. I have a Ebony Poplar that called in a bird youth season last year.

I ordered the Ebony/Limba by mistake and sent it back to him to exchange for the Ebony/Walnut.  Both calls sound very similar to my ear.

If I were buying another one, Id by the Purple Heart / Cedar or Elder / Jatoba

Probably purple heart/cedar.  Similar to the mac/ebony but a little higher pitched to my ear.
Like another user said, all his boxes are aggressive and raspy.  Both myself and a few birds seem to like them.
