if you could buy only one box call and the call makers were albert paul, marlin watkins, darrin dawkins, jerry zebro or david halloran witch person would you get the box from.
I think I would go with Marlin Watkins....
Jeff Mckammey hands down. i have 5 of them and well get more.....
Albert Paul and the Marlin Watkins either one.

Albert. Paul :
Depends on how much money you have, short or long box.
I only have Paul's Calls so cannot vouch for the others but I think you would be satisfied with any of them.
Call them up and have them play a couple for you. They are more than willing to do that to sell a call.

Sure do like my SS Custom.
Jerry Zebro
When you say box call I presume you mean a short box?
I have never run a Zebro call, but I hear they sound quite good...the others...well they are all different sounds unique to each callmaker as is my sound and they are all very talented folks. You should contact each one and discuss wood, sound, design style, how you like to run a call and what particular sound you might be looking for.
SS, Twisting Creek, Tim Bullock, Don Clark, Bob Harwell, Shadetree calls, Mike Lapp, Scott Basehore, I could on and on with all very good builders...part of it may also depend on what you want to spend and what you can afford.
Good luck with your search.

Oh, and Culpeper makes a pretty nice box call also.
