She's nasty. I'm on his list and can't wait to hear from him. I'm not looking for that much rasp. Have 2 in the mail from preacherman walnut and cedar, wenge and persimmon. Love good box calls and you have a fine one sir.

Its a pretty good call . Not sure if he tunes each one. I have a bunch of Marlins fiddle boxes and there is no comparison to me.

He does NOT tune the Zink boxes. They're his design but he doesn't touch them. Zink produces them...From what I understand, they're a nice box but if you want a hand tuned box of Marlin's design, you'll have to contact Marlin...Trust me, you won't be sorry!
