Has anybody made or have a pink ivory striker if so what does it play best on and what kind of sound do u get out of it. Thanks
I have only made a couple of pink ivory strikers. I honestly don't remember how they sounded, but paired them with slate calls.
The wood is too expensive for me to keep in stock, but can be found for special orders.
I have a couple Pink Ivory strikers made by Larry Gresser. They run good on a Pink Ivory slate call and a Pink Ivory copper call he made me. They are the 4th and 12th strikers shown left to right.

I've made several pink ivory strikers and usually have one in my vest. Pink ivory seems to run best on calls which like an extremely dense hard striker like Ipe, Massranduba, rock maple, cocabola, and will produce high,sharp, distinct sounds.
