Help!!!!!

Who makes a good custom tube call, and
What strikers do best on copper friction,
And a ceramic friction???

[West Augusta]

Tube calls?  I can't run them but Pappy and Matt McLain make good looking ones.

I like a very hardwood striker on copper.  African Blackwood, Dymondwood,  Snakewood or even a very hard Purpleheart striker.

Ceramic?  I love Black Locust on it.

[Triple Gobble]

I was using a purpleheart on both, but
Got an oak one an it sounds better on the
Copper, but the sound is not what I want
Out of it yet, and the ceramic has good
Sounding purrs with hickory, but everything
Else could get better, I look in to some
Of those, if anybody else knows anything
I'm all ears!!!!!

My tube call is from Lyle at Houndstooth.  Joe Slaton makes a nice one as well.  Can't go wrong with the ones previously mentioned either!

Tube Calls - Matt McClain, Joe Slaton, Pappy, Lyle Gilbert all have good reputations for building quality tube calls.
Strikers for Copper - Cherry, Osage, Zebrawood, Wenge, Yellowheart, Tulipwood
Ceramic - Couldn't tell you since I don't own a ceramic call

 I've got a tube call from Matt McClain that is awesome, I can make great yelps, kee kees, and a killer gobble all from that one call.  Several dead gobblers would attest.  Pappy makes great tube calls as well from everything I've seen and heard...

Tubes-- Pappy or Matt McLain
Striker-- I like snakewood

[Spitten and drummen]

I prefer softer woods on copper. Takes some of the shrill high out of it. To each his own.

there are several great call makers on here, striker wise, I love the laminates, dymondwood is sweet on all surfaces. Russell Beard makes a killer all weather striker, it runs great on just about any surface especially if you are in a wet climate. My tubes are proven hunters, and I love making them, but there are others here that make some nice ones too, Joe and Matt are two fine example.
