Title: Help identifying a yelper
Post by: Crowstalker on April 06, 2023, 10:19:58 PM
Found this yelper tucked away in my man cave. Name on ferrule is Kelly. The call runs so someone knew what they were turning. It's turned crazy thin on the inside. Might be a hair over a 16th of an inch. It's clean on the inside as well as the outside. I'm guessing cocus or maybe ironwood but probably cocus wood. I'm thinking I got it from a duck callmaker possibly like 25 years ago. Any help would be appreciated. Fun finding these old calls..(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230407/f5ba4b335c0ad2eaba36b06d1ddf58b9.jpg)

Yeah. I still haven't figured out whom I bought it from. I'll do some more digging. Thanks for the help.

 This doesn't help, but this is the reason i log all my calls in a book with a builder and price i paid .... new or used ... if i buy a call from a member on the forum, i log that forum name into the book also...

I did that also for years but my old pc froze up and all my info is on there. Guess I'm too cheap to take it somewhere to get the info pulled off of it.  The older I got the lazier I got and quit keeping track.  I have been diligent though on everything I've acquired over the last 5 years or so. Too many calls soo little time. It's a sickness.

There was a member here named muddpuppi who made trumpets that looked similar to that. Looks like he hasn't been on since January 2022. Don't know his real name, but I think his first name was Craig???

I don't recognize that name at all. Doesn't mean anything but the call is at least 20 years old. Thanks guys

Here's the one I have he made. This ferrule is different but it could have been newer. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230413/92fa7a3fce5801d7fdad697da5994bea.jpg)
