Mann Hybrid Call

[BOB_HARWELL]

  Lamar Williams made some calls like that a long time ago, probably the first ones ever made. He calls his a paddle box. Neil Cost saw a few while visiting Lamar and made some that he called a Do-Dat. I make some that I call a Mini Paddle. They have a box call sound because of the sound chamber size. Neil told my that they are more trouble to tune than they are worth.   Bob.

They are actually.........due to the smaller size and handle........a bit harder to run than a regular short box or a full-sized paddle caller.

I still like 'em !!!

    Starting to get the idea here, it's the box call equivalent of a sixteen gauge shotgun

Good analogy.

I'll add that some 16 gauges are worth scooping up and keeping around.

I definitely agree. Ordered a hybrid from Steve Mann and a miniboat from Ralph Snodgrass, I couldnt resist, went all in, now I have to refinance my house to pay for them !

Post 'em up when ya get 'em !!!!!!!

[Zobo]

Will do, thanks again!

Steve's one of the few callmakers that u can trust to build a quality box
