Cluck n Purr diaphragm

[CG1997]

I realize this is a pretty opinionated subject but I'm curious what y'all's favorite cluck n Purr mouth call is? What call helped you get the hang of it the easiest? 've been practicing trying to get the purr down with a couple of woodhaven 3 reeds but they seem to take a bit too much air for me to get a very natural purr out of. They're also a year old and weren't really taken care of properly so I'm not sure if that's part of it too lol. Would going to a 2 reed call help ease the process of learning? I feel like I'm very close to getting the hang of it using my throat/fluttef but I get a higher pitch purr and too much of a "latex" sound...if that makes sense.

Once you get it, you can cluck and purr (with your throat) on any of them.
Try doing a fighting (loud) purr first. It's much easier.....then soften it down by using less and less air.

I have found that you can do it on any of them, you just have to have the call broke-in. New calls for me are hard to purr on no matter what. But my favorite call to purr on is the woodhaven toxic orange. It is a 2.5 reed ghost cut that to me seems like it has thin reeds. Also I may get blasted but I am liking the Dave Owens calls that my wife bought me last year. All of them blow easy and didn't take no time to break-in.

Agreed.

I started with throat-like gargling but then switched to fluttering my tongue to rock the purr.

Also, I have seen many who have the call upside down (nipple on the frame should be down) or who don't bend (slightly) the call to fit their mouth.

I agree...  But probably easier to learn on a call that is not too stiff with less reeds...  2-reed will probably be easier to learn on than a 4-reed, just to get that air vibration going...

Me...  I have to move the call back (towards my throat away from my lips) to trill my tongue properly and get that purr...  Some can do it with their throat (I cannot), and some do it with their lips (which I have never heard sound great).

Once you learn it, you can purr on any mouth call, but some do it better than others. I've been using Gooserbat's PLS (public land special) it's a 2 Reed with side cuts and it will do the soft close stuff but still has some volume, clucks are clear and sweet with just hint of rasp. Purring for me on that call is very unforced and natural feeling.

Easiest to start with for me was the Cane Creek Lost Poult. Then once I got it dialed in it was a lot easier on the stiffer multiple reed calls.

Yes.  It is a Ghost cut...  Thinking about it, a ghost cut is probably the easiest to learn to pur on.  Don't think/know that the branding matters.

Agreed Marc. The Cane Creek is just my goto brand as they are very affordable. Actually started messing with the Ghost Ninja Woodhaven as I tend to put to much air through the thinner reed calls out of habit. It is ok but I still like the Lost Poult a little better.

Gooserbats ICE has been the best for me so far
