A tree yelper and soft caller are the same kind of thing. These are special made trumpet calls, usually shorter and fatter in stature. They are supposed to be used in very early morning as turkeys fly off roosting sites. They play softer, lower and quieter.

However, most good yelpers have the built in ability to be played the same way, as long as the player has the control and ability to do so, which isn't too hard to learn.
