Hey guys, first post. Thanks for allowing me to be part of this forum.
Will these work as a lip stop on a wingbone?
Danco 1/4L faucet washer
Thanks for any help.
Yes, if they fit they will work, I have rubber washers on mine. You may want to used more than one. Oh and welcome to the forum, great to have you.
Just on a side note, you may want to get some thinner ones as well, the thicker ones may not be tor your liking, I have 2 of the thinner ones on mine, give me a moment and I will send a picture.
I forgot that I had added the top and bottom ones to keep them from sliding. Sorry for the photo quality, not my best pictures.

Thanks for the picture.
If I have to add something to them I am not going to buy them. I have seen some with just one washer or cork on them. Any idea to what size washer I would need? Does anyone on this forum sell pre-drilled corks?
Not that I am aware of, I am sure those that could tell you where to get them though.
Could I buy a used wine cork, cut it down and drill a hole in it with a dremel to fit my wingbone?
I guess it could be done that way. If you can wait until tomorrow check back then, it seems a lot of the guys that do wingbones/trumpets/yelpers tend to get on earlier in the day, not all but many, I am sure they could add more advise than I can, I am still pretty new myself.
Alright thanks.
Turkey season won't be here for around 53 days anyway, but who's counting?
Lol
Someone sells them on Ebay for $1.25 they're made out of EVA or something like that. Type in trumpet style lip stop, maybe add turkey call to the description. I do believe a wine cork would work just well also. Stick a drill bit through it and sand it to the shape you want as your spinning it on a drimal tool or just any type of drill.
Thanks southern, That is what I am gonna buy if everything goes well...
Thanks to you Sirdiealot.
You're very welcome, people went out of their way to be helpful to me when I got here 2 years ago and I like to try to do the same.
I got it!
:thanks:
The ones on Ebay would be the easiest route for sure. But if you wanted to try and make your own try a #2 stopper, and use the technique Southerngobbler mentioned. Good luck
I have made my own wing bones and purchased some. The ones I made and purchased did not have the washer. Yet they worked fine for me. I'm curious as to what the benefit is: better sound or just lip placement? Guess I just didn't know any better: neither have the dozen or so turkeys I've killed with wing bones.
I make mine from eva(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200228/cf529d157db08ed2345b9c251dcf215a.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200228/a3d7b0da20f71e656baacd8dc85b9964.jpg)

Im far from an expert but from the trumpets/wingbones Iv'e played it seems one of the main problems is inconsistencies with the many variable. Hand placement, lip placement, air pressure and so forth. For me the lip stop help alleviate one of the variables.
Those washers are some of the cheapest ways to make a lip stop! Far be it from a guy that sends you a custom call with a washer for a lip stop!! If he thought anything of his call, he would not send you a call with a washer for a lipstop!!!
Back in the day I used a 3/8" beveled washer as a lip stop a lot (I didn't know any better), and they worked great. Just not as astatically pleasing as a nice turned cork, rubber or EVA lip stop.

Thank you for the explanation. I always just butted it up against my tooth. Probably have all kinds of bad habits but I'm to old to change now. LOL.
Lip stops are to help seal the call. It helps take the squeaks and squeals out of the calling when placed correctly for the caller.
