I made a post in the pot call forum. If anyone has some knowledge of fine pot call makers I would greatly appreciate it.
Others make good ones, but nobody makes a better one than Mike Yingling. I don't know of a single person that got one and regretted it. They'll hunt for sure.

What kind of sound are you looking for? There are several out there.
I have a copper by Mike Yingling and Wendell Rye. Both are excellent pots and super nice guys. I can use a cedar striker and get really soft or use Ipe, Bloodwood or Carbon Fiber to get more aggressive. I just got my Yingling pot so I have not had a chance to hunt with it but I love the pot and he was a pleasure to work with.
I have the Ron Clough- Viper/ Copper over Glass Pot. I use a Hickory Corncob Striker with it.
Yingling.
I have an old one from Larry Gresser. Sweet sounding call. I'm not sure if he's still making calls or not.
yingling copper pot is one of best sounding calls ive had of any surface/brand

Same here.
Greg Massey made a good copper pot, until the Gmen found out
I think a lot depends on matching it with a good striker.
I think red beard makes a decent one, Spring allure is a good one as well. However I have seen putting the wrong striker on one sounds like a cat screeching.

I have that same exact pot. It is a good one. The yelp that I get with the carbon fiber is just - really good! And I love the ability to flip it over and get real soft if need be.

:santaclaus:Yingling & Light's Out, key is the right striker for that pot...
I like copper calls and have a handful of them. Whenever Im reaching to put one in the satchel it usually ends up being a YINGLING.

Me 3. Agree on the needing the right striker. Copper seems to gum up a striker tip more easily too, so I clean them often.
