Title: Would this be even possible???
Post by: beards-n-bone on February 27, 2012, 03:54:50 AM
Could you overstretch the latex on a mouth call so when you bend it to fit your narrow palate, the reeds would relax to the proper stretch?  If so, I am gonna start making my own.   The youth mouth calls out there are just not getting it done for me.

I have tried several different manufacturers.....some were pretty good.  Seems call makers don't go to the same extreme in making good youth frame calls.  Limited selection...many of which are tailored for beginning callers.  I've been at this for almost 20 years.

I bet if you called Scott at Hooks custom calls and talked to him a bit about what you're looking for he could build you calls with the exact reeds and cuts on youth frames that you're looking for.

they might not be on his website because of low demand but he'll definitely do his best to get a mouth call that fits you
