Tube call reeds

[Austy]

This question is for those of you who are making Tube calls on a regular basis.  What have you found to be the easiest way to put the reeds onto your calls, especially when doing a double or triple reed call???

I have not tried putting more then one reed on a tube call. I use .004" but if you wanted to change the sound you could go .005 or .006" instead of doubling or tripling the reed.
here is a video on how to install a reed on a tube call.

I have about 4 tube calls that are useless right now.

Where do you all get your reed material.  I have checked ever Physical therapy place and medical supply house in my area and no one knows what a Theraband is or the only have the very thick ones.

pioneerturkeycalls.com has latex for tube calls.

I checked with Pioneer and the default shipping is outrageous!  12.00 for $1.44 worth of latex!  I think I will call them instead.

5ft yellow theraband is on Amazon for $7.25 and free shipping.

My dentist gave me some dental dam. Not sure of the thickness but it does sound good on the tubes.

if you dont take joe up on his offer, you can get them from midwest turkey call supply; thats where i've always got them

I ordered a roll from Epley at Pioneer years ago.  Should last me until sometime around the year 2312 if I live that long.  He told me to put it in the refrigerator to extend shelf life and so far that has worked fine.  Send me a letter to my office (Randy Wallace @ 103 Woodchase Park Drive, Clinton, MS  39056) with a stamped/metered self addressed envelope back to you and I will send you a few feet.
