Finally, a Watkins Beauty
« on: March 15, 2021, 05:30:26 PM »
I have been admiring all the fiddle boxes that get posted on our forum. I never thought I would be able to get one of my own till a great friend of mine on this forum hooked me up. All I can say is the experience of picking out this call with Marlin was beyond my expectations. He sent me pictures, sound bites, then personally helped me narrow down my decision. I picked the Granadillo lid over Yellow Poplar.  Not only does this call look good, It sounds awesome. Marlin spent a lot of time helping me make this pick. I normally only carry a Southern Belle Cody box, but this will take its place. It really is too nice to use, but sounds too good not to. Be safe, best of luck....

Thanks team, Marlin is a legend, I am glad I had the chance to chat with him for over a hour. You look up turkey in the dictionary, his picture comes up. What a gentleman. Be well, our best times are right around the corner....

Congratulations Tom!! That’s a sweet looking fiddle box and I’m sure it sounds just as sweet and has many turkeys in it! Good luck hunting with it this Spring.
