Alright I have been practicing more and feel like this sounds better than the last one I posted. Please tell me how this sounds. This is a Buice Black and White Ebony with a number 5 mouthpiece. I have only been playing about 2 months.

I'm no expert, but it sounds good.  Maybe relax your jaw/lips a little and soften the yelps out when you need to.
Hard to explain, but I draw air in to the back of my throat, kind of like I'm 'drinking' air through a straw, instead of 'kissing' or smacking the call.

Excellent advice!
I'm not a Christian because I'm strong and have it all together. I'm a Christian because I'm weak and admit I need a Saviour!

I agree with the above but I'll add this, I wouldn't be afraid to hunt with what you are doing now.

Eric,

     Your doing very well for being at it for 2 months......VERY WELL !

     Try your number 4 mouthpiece.....Try to let YOUR air flow/draw break the call over, rather then you forcing it.....

    Relax your lips & just draw air into the back of your throat.....Think of the word "oak" for deeper sounds and "teak" for a higher pitched sounds....

    Keep up the great work.... :icon_thumright:

Zumer,
Thanks for commenting. Those instructions you sent me really helped as well as practice, practice, and more practice. With a little luck maybe I will have it laying next to a longbeard in the morning.

Thanks to everyone else that has commented as well.

Terry, gregg, and chefrific it's nice to hear that you think I could kill a bird with it. It definitely gives me the confidence to use it in the woods.
