thanks guys siuc, i hear the sinclairs are good. ill definitely try one at some point
thanks southern, i agree about having a slate. i have a grey slate that ive been using for years and like it. its not custom but sounds darn good for a cheap mass produced call. ive called and taken numerous birds with it. thats why i didnt add a grey slate to the list. i will get another grey slate soon (probably a lonnie sneed) but as you said id like to have a couple different call surfaces first
