Go to YouTube and search for Scott Ellis turkey calling. Best info I have seen.

Mouth call magic is a good one.  Also, Mouth Call Mechanics Hooks/Shane Simpson is good.  There are some good ones one youtube as well.  From your post, I don't know if you mean a beginner to mouth calls or beginner to turkey hunting, but either way, check out Tree Top Turkeys, it is a cd of real turkeys.  I bought it last year (been hunting for 15 years) and it is one of the best things I have done.

As far as the call itself, 2 reed calls can be a good place to start.  Gooserbat Classic Hen and PLS are easy to blow calls that can also talk turkey very well.  3 reeds can take a little more air to get going, but it's not impossible to learn on one.  Gooserbat's Bacon is a very easy to use 3 reed that makes good turkey sounds.

Obviously, I'm partial to Gooserbat, but there are a lot of great call makers out there, and several here on OG.  Yes, you can go to any Walmart and get cheaper calls, but the small/custom call guys build better calls.

I find that the Raspy Old Hen from H.S. Strut is an easy call to blow, and a cheap call to learn on.

Easy to yelp on, and not too bad for cutting, and if you want to try and take on purring it is not a difficult call to purr on...

Wing Supply has this call cheap:

Did I do that?

Fly fishermen are born honest, but they get over it.

Houndstooth Tom Bomb black is easy to blow and sounds as good as any of them and better than most.

The tom bomb is the bomb when it comes to learning to use a mouthcall!

I've been through LOTS of mouth calls...Just threw away some today. Hard to beat a Woodhaven Classic V2. Very easy to use. Great yelps, cuts and clucks...And durable...That's my vote  :z-twocents:

Gooserbat

I highly recommend  the Gooserbat Classic Hen.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

Like already said, try either the Gooserbat "classic hen" or Houndstooth "tom bomb". I have recently acquired both and they run very easily. The classic hen is more of a clean sound without rasp, the tom bomb has a high front end and raspy back. I would get both and have some variance.

Hooks Custom Calls,give scott a call!!!!

Gooserbat Classic hen or PLS, I called in 9 different toms with the Gooserbat Bacon this year. In my opinion you can't go wrong with anything Gooserbat but there are plenty of other makers out there!

Why shoot a 3.5"? Because they don't make a 4".

The Bacon has been my go to this year. Great call!

I'm still learning but, am proficient enough to call the dumb ones.  I like Zinks z-yelper for easy yelps, clucks, purs, and kee.  I started with the HS raspy old hen which, to me, is nearly identical in function as the z-yelper (personally I like the sound of the zink better).  I also think the yellow zink with the reeds set back is pretty easy to run.  I don't recall the name though, sorry.  I have yet to try any non production mouth calls.  I have tried about 40 production calls.  I'm pretty in experienced in turkey calling all together.
