Copper pots

I was thinking of adding one of these to my collection this year and wanted to find out a few things about them. How is the sound compared to slate and are they finiky or hard to play? Also wanted to get some info on ivory tipped strikers.

Copper is loud and typically really raspy. It is a call for windy days or to use when prospecting and trying to provoke a gobble from afar off. As far as playing, its no harder than any other call, and Id rate it up there with slate but copper does take less striker pressure. All in all, if you dont have one, you cant go wrong having one in your vest. Not everyone out there carries one.

My opinion is it is the most realistic surface.

As you can tell by my many posts of copper pots I am a big fan of copper especially Frying pan copper.
These calls will make great tree yelps and clucks and can get extremly loud when you need it.
They are easy to run with a light touch. They do require that you keep the surface clean as well as the striker,
but this is true of any friction call. Hope this helps.

I agree copper is my favorite surface. I find the 3" to be nicer sounding. I find mine are between slate and glass for sound. Sharper and raspier then slate but not the high pitch of glass.
You need to get 1 or 2 or 3,4,5 can you have to many

Copper has a great sound to it, and it will produce birds very nicely. Finicky, some what, but not in the playability of the call. They are a bit finicky in the surfacing of it, but once you learn what to do they play just fine.
