Just want to see what everyones favorite pot call surface is and why. Mine is slate. I just like the natural tone it has along with the ability to get really soft or loud without losing sound quality. So lets hear yours.
slate all day long.
Love slate - as long as it's not damp, or drippy, or really cold.
All around, I like the glass / bronzed glass.
Crystal
Slate by a wide margin.
Slate
Slate.
Looks like most of us like pure slate.
Crystal - but maybe that's because I need the volume out here in Big Sky Country.
I love slate...to me it's harder to find a great slate than it is glass or crystal..lots of them...being said I just got 3 Platz calls...walnut glass/glass...crystal /glass/slate 2 sider. And his cherry slate..all sound great but the cherry slate will be 1st pot out this year...unless I get Eddie wynne slate before the opener...then I will have to see

Agree - to pick one it would be slate. I have two really sweet slate calls. After that it's glass - just so dang consistent.
Haha. Same. Can't beat the sound of a nice slate.
Crystal and glass followed by ceramic if it's done right. Anodized aluminum would round out my top 3.
Slate.
Old habits die hard.
Crystal
some type of glass

Aluminum, makes em gobble when others won't
I was always a glass fan as it is easy to run and sounds great. I had an aluminum call years ago that I hated.....then I tried a Lonzo stoned aluminum call this year and....wow, this call sounds amazing and will roll-over playing as softly as I like. Will do tree talk better than any pot I have used, has a variety of tones depending on pressure(but not finicky at all). And the one thing that a pot must have for me is fullness in the big woods, this one does, so for now Stoned Aluminum is my favorite....lol
Aluminum ...specially Atomic 13.. No question. Humid, cold, hot, etc... it always works and runs the same.
Slate and Glass!
Aluminum
copper ,,makes for nice all round call ,,brings them in
I'm surprised so many like slate. Rarely do you see slate calls being posted compared to the other surfaces.
Slate,crystal/glass and aluminum in that order.
Copper, its been my number one seller all year and I love the volume and dirty rasp.
Crystal, slate, then aluminum for me
Glass and then ceramic. The 2 most consistent I have found. Also the 2 I sell the most of.
Bronzed Glass
Glass, Titanium and then Ceramic usually but the order can shuffle depending on the day.
Glass and 2nd would be slate. It's a distant 2nd though
Copper
I like Sinclair's Titanium and brass pots.
Crystal and second would be slick aluminum. On a dry morning or later in the day, aluminum takes first for me.
Slate over glass with a dymondwood striker...by far...

This is a tough one. Probably crystal or stoned aluminum. I think who builds the call is more important than what it's made of.

To me crystal is the easiest to run and man does it sound great to my ear, but I have had much better response from turkeys with slate. I am guessing there are frequencies outside my range of hearing that come from the slate.
