Tell Me what your favorite SS box call is and what does it sound like? " raspy, clear,etc.etc"
What I'm looking for Is a pronounced 2 not yelp that starts high and ends raspy .

I have seven SS box calls at this point....the one that sounds the most like your description is my purple heart over maple one sider. You should just give Al a call and tell him the sound you're looking for....he will have some suggestions to get you exactly the sound you're after.

I've got a maple over mahogany from SS that starts high and finishes nice and raspy. As mentioned before, I'd give Al a call and tell him exactly what you are looking for.

I like all of my SS calls but if I had to pick I would say Maple over Mahogany, Zebrawood over Mahogany and Kwila over Butternut. If you really like a high front end go with Cherry over Sassafras.
If you talk with Al he'll set you up exactly with what you're looking for.

I like Al's canary/black limba combo, it has that mid-tone start that ends with a raspy chatter. Talk with AL, he'll set you up best with what your looking for.

European beech over cedar is my pick. I also have a canary over butternut. One thing about those ss box calls, they all roll over nice and finish raspy. At least the 4 i have do

I have several box calls from the SS boys and my favorite is a Cherry over Spanish Cedar. It just has that sound I really like.

Al won't sell a call that doesn't have awesome roll over, and all his calls will finish in some rasp. Obviously woods like purpleheart and cedar will have a more barky rasp. While maple, cherry, and butternut will run higher and cleaner but still finish strong.
I have a Kwila over Limba box that's sounds great. My next one will be either cherry/butternut or a maple/butternut combo

Looks like you all are gonna cost me some more money!! I may just have to have one of the SS boxes since I am a boxcall guy.
I may give them a ring in a few days and get the process started....

I asked for the same type of sound and Al made me a maple over mineral stained poplar. He nailed it too.

My first ever SS will be in the mail on Monday. This is one beautiful call and when I first saw it, I had to have one. Al hooked me up and made my dream into a reality.
Cannot wait to run it.
