Mike Yingling's carbon striker that comes with it works pretty well.  I haven't really experimented much with different striker woods on copper.  I don't think the wood type is that important.  I like his sappy Cocobolo and maple pots.  Not sure he uses Black and white ebony with the copper but he does a good job with that wood.

Mike Yingling, and has been said his carbon striker works pretty well. But I like using a heavier wood striker personally like Kingwood, Dymondwood, rosewood

I really like Misfire Call's copper frying pot.  I picked it up at Unicoi and can't wait to pull it out of the vest this spring!

I just picked up a call from Wendell Rye at Lights Out Calls.  Paired with a cedar striker it is a killer.

My Yingling copper pot and Neal Herman Dymondwood striker work pretty well together.

I got a Mike Yingling 3 inch copper dyed stabilized ash in the mail today...kicking myself for waiting this long to get one of his. It is all turkey! Super easy to run, excels (in the 15 minutes I played around with it) with soft stuff, but will absolutely scream if you want it to paired with the right striker. To top it off, it is a fine piece of craftsmanship.

I have had one other copper call before this one, and have run several, but this one really is the best sounding one I have run.

As for strikers the fiber rod striker he sent with it is really versatile and does really well on the call. It also ran well with a few other strikers I had upstairs with me. A Neal Hermann persimmon sounded great on it, and so did a JLH tail feather striker. My favorite striker on it was probably my Neal Hermann gaboon ebony, followed closely by the fiber rod striker that Mike sent with the call.

I probably could have just left this post at this...get one of Mike Yingling's copper pots because you will not be disappointed.
