I have a copper pot from Mike Yingling and a number of both aluminum both bare and anodized from Halloran, Al Hobert and Lonnie Mabry. I like all the calls I have but seem to like the bare aluminum the best. I was just curious about the other types stainless steel and brass and where they rank for you guys among the metals and which makers you like?

I am a big metal pot call fan. I LOVE my John Sinclair brass, I have (3). Love titanium also have 3 of Johns and one other from a another call maker. SS have but have not used much. I too like aluminum surfaces. Everybody else likes glass. I am not a fan of them, have tried different ones and have not found one that "I" like, but maybe the turkey would.

Been through a bunch of metal surfaced pot callers. The only two I really like and have had success with are Lyman's Bocote aluminum and Sinclair's Mun Ebony brass.

I have a couple of Copper calls, one from Mike Yingling, another from Jessie Jefferson. I also have a brass and a titanium from John Sinclair, a Anodized black aluminum from Footballer, a aluminum and a slate double sided Osage Pot from Ghost Maker Custom Calls. I think the best to my ears are the two copper pots though they sound completely different and the Sinclair Titanium are the ones I like the most. The Footballer sounded great before I made a mistake and conditioned it with a stone, still sounds good but not as good as that sweet spot did before I messed it up. I will be getting another from him.

Other than aluminum I have a brass and titanium from Mike Yingling that are both great calls. Honestly I can't say I prefer one over the other. They both have different tone and rasp but both sound great.
