Well, I pulled the trigger and have one of Thads presses and tape cutters on the way. So, Im asking for a mentor to steer me in the right direction with reed tension . Looking for some starting points. If anyone would like to converse about it, either openly or privatly, Im all ears. Appreciate it.
Thanks,
Mark
Try .130-.150 for 2 reed calls and .170-.190 for 3 reed V calls.

I filled up a coffee can full of mouth calls before I figured out what I wanted. Good luck,

I guess this is a case of why we're all diferent but I run my three reed calls between .135-.150 and my two reeds .140+
TRKYHTR is right you'll have alot of unique calls on hand when you finaly do settle on what you like.
Thank you fellas, I know Ill have to make a bunch of scrap before I get em where I want them, but thats the way callmaking goes.
I appreciate the help!!

I'll give you another piece of advice. Everything you do such as how close the reeds are stacked, what thickness, and color makes just as big of a difference as tension.
Thank you : )
