Title: My day couldn’t get any worse!
Post by: Riley1 on January 30, 2019, 05:00:04 PM
I come home super excited to get my calls I just bought from a member and they had arrived. I get them out and they are better than I could of hoped perfect condition and sound amazing. So I go inside to play them some more and what do I do? I drop it and break the glass in it oh wait it gets better it wasn't just any call it was the call I've been after for a long time. It was the best sounding call IMO I've heard it was a Roberts bg over slate in a Mahoe pot. I couldn't be more sick to my stomach.

I emailed him to see what options their is. I was thinking about having him taking the bronzed glass out of my Mahoe glass over glass.

Man that hurts but there are plenty of great pots out there. I'd call Brad and see what he says.

I was crossing my fingers the whole time it was in transit. Shipping glass calls always makes me nervous no matter how well its packed. Sorry to hear it bud.

I talked to Brad like always he goes above and beyond and offers to take apart one of his personal calls to fix it but I declined. I have another first class call maker that is gonna give me two pieces so I will send it to Brad to be fixed. Man I'm relieved!

Riley I'm glad it worked out. But your day could be an awful lot worse. Someone's day prob is. Remember that. It's only a call. Now it's getting fixed. Somebody you care about could always not get fixed. That'd be bad. Prioritize bud. Be happy for what you have. Hope this made sense

I like the front end of the bronzed glass. But I don't disagree that I would be happy with the regular.

Count your blessings if that is all that ruined your day.  A friend of mine went to the hospital this past Thursday with health issues and on Friday they operated on him to remove two brain tumors.  Results to be coming out this week on the results.  So yes your day could have been worse.  We need to count our blessings every day.

Glad you could get it worked out. I want to get a glass call but I am such a klutz and also have hand problems so I am afraid to get one because I know I WILL drop it.

As someone who has broken two of my favorite pots before.. I feel for you man

I fell carrying a bird out once and not only broke a call on impact but fractured my wrist. I did get that one repaired and the call maker even gave me a loaner to use for the rest of turkey season until he got the broken one fixed up.

Some have the opinion that regular glass sounds as good as the bronze , but in my opinion I can tell the difference and in Brads pots , the bronze is the way to go. Just my opinion. Glad you got taking care of.

Brad is a good guy that makes some great calls.  Glad it's going to work out for you.
