It is more negative towards his grandson which is the suspected culprit of the call differences people are seeing now. I think this is a good post because regardless of the person or their legacy a consumer has the right to know if the product they are buying may not be what they expect. Especially with recent call price hikes and declining quality I appreciate people bringing up this post. Hiding a truth because of a legacy is dishonest. Honesty should come first.

Quote from: dwcim on March 12, 2018, 10:14:01 PMAfter reading the posts about the quality, covers and who is making Sneed pot calls, I will have to say that it is more than appalling to me to read that some of you have jumped to conclusions and assume that Mr. Lonnie Sneed Sr, is not making his calls instead of knowing the facts. I know the facts because I live in the same town in West Virginia as Mr. Sneed and sometimes have helped him carry calls to the post office to mail to the new owners. I have know Mr. Sneed for many, many years and I have been to Mr. Sneed's home on numerous occasions for many hours playing calls and watching a veteran callmaker and master caller play calls. I know for a fact that Lonnie Sneed Sr. is the integral part and sole craftsman of his calls. He spends many hours each day crafting these calls and trying to keep up with his orders. He is a one man operation. His grandson, Jason takes care of his facebook page because Lonnie Sr. does not have time to make calls and take orders and talk on the phone. Lonnie Sr. tries to talk to each and everone of his customers, but it takes time away from his call building. I have watched him work at his craft cutting, drilling, sanding, glueing and so forth like a true craftsman. As to the covers, he quit making them because it was becoming to difficult and time consuming to construct them. Also, to the questions about some of his calls that have not been signed and dated by him are still made by him. I have some of those calls also. So, I would like to end the post or questions about Lonnie Sneed Sr. not crafting his calls. As I said before, I know for a fact and have witnessed his callmaking with my own eyes. Lonnie Sneed Sr. is a gentleman, craftsman and a true friend. He makes great sounding calls and has the experience to prove that his calls work. As the old saying goes, "The proof is in the Call".
