A couple of years ago I reached out to Ernie asking for a matched set of trumpets and a matched long box and scratch box. He ended up matching them all out of Osage and I got a beautiful Osage over black walnut long box as my first. He told me then he wanted to build another that he considered a better hunting call when I was ready. Fast forward to a few weeks ago and fall season started to really weigh on my mind. I decided I needed to make an effort to learn how to play my long box. Pulled it out and found a post from boat paddle here and a video of Marlin Watkins explaining how to run a boat paddle that made a world of difference in my ability. I fell in love fast with a long box. It's funny because I am not a fan of a short box at all really. Reached back out to Ernie and went with his favorite combo - a bloodwood over butternut call. Came in today and just like all my calls from Ernie, it's full of feathers!

The longbox addition has started.

Congrats on a couple of awesome calls!
A quality paddle caller will most run itself.  It just needs someone to carry it around the woods. Yoder409
Over time...they come to learn how little air a good yelper actually requires. ChesterCopperpot
