I have a zink crystal power hen that got cracked last season. Is there any way to fix it or am I just out of a call?

 You should be able to send it to any custom call maker and should be able to fix it for ya...I've fixed a few myself from people droping on concrete and hard surfaces

I would call Zink first and see if they will fix or replace it. If they won't I will fix it for you If pay the shipping both ways!

I am sure it can have the crystal replaced but that does not guarantee the same sound as before it was damaged. You must understand that materials even though named the same can be drastically different in make up when they are used. Your best bet, if you are not looking for the exact or close to the same sound out of the pot once repaired is to buy another one. Or just go to one of the call makers here and get one from them, there are some great makers here that could make you what you are looking for.

I have an email in to them but if they can't do anything for me I'd be glad to take you up on your offer. I'd also be more than happy to pay you for your time and materials.

I'm not that concerned abouy the same exact sound. I have other glass calls and another on the way already. I just didn't want to throw away a $75 pot call.

I would definetly give them the first shot at it and like Shannon said most will fix or replace a call. Chrystal is chrystal..... the sound should be the same as before!!!

Sent it to zink this morning.  They are going to fix it free of charge which is totally not what I was expecting since the call is four years old and it was my fault it cracked. Great customer service at zink calls!

Shane hasnt worked for zink for 3 years now Josh does a lot of the call production stuff. I agree Shane is a great guy. And Zink does have good customer service.
