What is a good brand diaphragm call for close up quiet calling that requires little air?
I like ghost cuts, a lot of brands offer them.
As far as I'm concerned any mouth call can be used like that, some just sound better than others. I carry 5 or 6 in my pouch, all different cuts and brands and they all work.

I think the more reeds in a call the harder it is to make soft subtle sounds. Not saying it is impossible but it's easier to use a 2 reed call for soft sounds than a 3 reed or 4 reed call. There are some good mouth calls out there and they don't have to be some of the big name companies. I make a 2 reed call that I use alot called the X-Terminator. Here is a sound file of it.

Legacy is what I use. More reeds = more air.
I find the "red ghost" by Woodhaven to be very versatile with volume. I have a lot of control with it, and adjust volume by changing air pressure. I can get really quiet and go all the way up to pretty loud.
I like a straight 2 reed call for the soft stuff, no cuts. I believe the most versatile are the ghost cut calls.
Southland Sadler McGraw Ghost Cut or the Woodhaven Sadler McGraw/Toxic are very good calls on the low end. The Zink batwing, in the orange tape, is another great low volume call...can't remember it's name though.
My favorite for soft and/or tree calls is the Primos "Limb Hanger". ;)
Denny Gulvas Double, simple call with two reeds. Easy to blow and the best I've found for closer calls.
I bought my first call the "Arsenic" from DND this year and I love it. It will call very very soft but also capable of being surprisingly loud. It was the only mouth call I used this season.
Gooserbat's Bacon is worth a look.
XT Havocs do it all!

I second the Denny Gulvas calls I tried the masters choice this past year, and I absolutely love it. It will get super quiet purs, clucks, and whines.
