custom call ?

[otis]

  i have been buying calls for a long time i love custom calls all different kinds, i love all different kind of wood the way they look just everything about them i do not make calls and never will but my ? is  when a call maker makes a call say like a trumpet and you look inside the call should'nt it all be straight  and not all over the place to the right  then to the left that you can not see all the way up to the mouth piece or  am i wrong  about this   the out side looks great  but would this bother the way the call works or not

[VanHelden Game Calls]

Actually if my memory is correct it does not matter.  When I was studying acoustics of wind instruments to better understand how I want to make my trumpets its not the curve of the tube but transitions, tapers, length, diameter, and internal resistance that make the biggest difference.  

Look at trumpets, tubas, etc.  They are all curved and if I remember my reading they would sound the same uncoiled just a lot harder to march with.

If it sounds good I would not worry one bit.  Sometimes mistakes are what creates the next best thing.
