Hi. i am new to the forum and fairly new to turkey hunting. i have only been using diaphragm calls when in the turkey woods. i have been looking into getting a pot call but not sure what surface is the most forgiving as i am new to this type of call.
Thanks for any info
Slate. Keep it dry, avoid contact with your hands so it stays free of "finger oil" and condition with scotchbrite and your good to go.
Ceramic is another easy surface to maintain but my favorite surface and very simple to play is a good anodized aluminum call. You can go from soft to loud like no other surface in my opinion. Scoot
Really being a beginner should not deter you from trying different surfaces on pot calls. You will have to learn anyone you choose, even though some are easier to master, slate is a good choice, because of its ability to create friction very quickly, and glass is good if it is conditioned right. Ceramic would be a great choice if you are looking for a less maintenance pot, all you need there is a good striker and some alcohol wipes. But with any pot, it takes practice, watch a lot of internet guru's run theirs or if you are close to someone who has some watch them.
