Does the sound vary much between different makers in the same wood in a 1 piece? I know the weight of the peg will vary, will that make much of a difference? I need to buy some. I noticed the prices will vary quite a bit with some makers.
In my experience they can be different. Thickness & weight can change the harmonics. I've had real good luck with Larry Gresser's strikers. Bill Lyman makes a good striker as does Fred Cox. I can compare my Gresser tulipwood to a friend's Cox tulipwood & there is a slight difference.
2 strikers from the same callmaker and made from the same woods can sound different.. Might be wood density ect....cutt said it right Larry,bill,Fred make good strikers also got some good ones from Harold fowler and Glenn Mauer
