But, these calls are a little rough visually, not the best, but not terrible either. With that being said they sound pretty dang good. I don't really care how a call looks, if I can interact efficiently with the birds. Also, none of these calls have Lonnie's handwriting on them, for example, "handcrafted by Lonnie Sneed Sr."
Quote from: DBRANNON on February 15, 2018, 05:05:01 PMWhat a call looks like and what a call sounds like is up to the person who runs it or purchases it. Are Lonnie's calls better than say a Halloran call? Man, that's up to the person playing it. I have an old Halloran aluminum that's done it's job a lot more than my Clint Corder pot that's yet to have a notch to it. It's all subjective and whether you plan to use that call as a hunting tool or a mantle piece. My previous post was to state the condition of which I received some Lonnie Sneed calls, as that's the title and question of this topic. I think the calls I received were made by his grandson, and yeah they could use a little work visually, but he's still learning and it's great that he is. They still sound awesome. Will I use them this spring? I think they will definitely make a trip or two, potentially more.

But if the demand is there and people are willing to pay it, more power to them. But the product should be what the customer expects as well. I wanted a Sneed for the sound and I am satisfied. The craft of the calls aren't world class but the sound is there. I'm content with that.
