I'm a Lamar Williams(FL) and Darrin Dawkins(SC) guy but Steve Mann(SC) and Albert Paul(MS) make great ones too. I'm sure I'm forgetting someone but those are the first ones that popped into my head.

I've have or had a call from all mentioned above except for Wendell Lancaster. Most likely the best sounding was an older (1992) box of Lamar's. Best bang for your buck (sound/cost) would be Albert Paul.

The last true Outlier, Lamar Williams, the finest turkey callmaker in the country. You asked about the best, he's the best
