Going to order a Sinclair titanium. I want it in cocobola I believe , but I don't know what size. So to all you titanium users should I go with a 3" , a 3-1/4" or 3-1/2". Also any other preference on type of wood for the pot?

He has nice calls. I had his Titanium 3-1/4  -  it made a awesome purr and cluck... I just couldn't get the yelp a consistent sound all the time.  could have been my strikers, or just plan user error.

Thanks , I know that metallic calls can be finicky. I found with my copper and brass calls that it requires a little more practice and a little different technique when running them.

They also require more conditioning to get broken in correct.. my understanding is they get better with time.   But I just stick with glass and slate...

I went with the 3.5" because I was afraid it would be too high pitched if I went smaller and I already have pots that are high pitched.  If you play near the edge it will go a little higher though and of course different strikers are certainly a variable to take into account.

IF YOU CALL HIM HE WILL PLAY SOME FOR YA AND YOU CANE MAKE UP YOUR MIND
3" IS ALOT LOUDER THAN THE 3 1/2

noisy box call that seems to sound like a flock of juvenile hens pecking their way through a wheat field

Very impressed with this call,very user friendly.It's a purring and clucking machine.Running it closer to the middle gives me the tone and pitch I'm looking for.Give John a call ,You won't be disappointed.Mike

My Hickory Titanium is 3 ¼"

Titanium is pretty hard and is not easy to condition the first time but the surface doesn't wear out quickly either.

No trees were hurt in the sending of this message, however a large number of electrons were highly inconvenienced.

If u guys are getting inconsistent yelps from titanium and it  sounds like u are try hitting it with 80 grit sand paper or dry wall screen ( I do mine in circles )   it will help keep a consistent sound ,,,like steve says its tuff stuff wont wear like a softer metal
Not taking orders for calls at this time ,,,but my have some on hand  ,,,I Dont sell strikers
I do like copper pot calls,,,,Get them While u can

Try box call chalk. I use it on the ones I make and it really doesnt need much conditioning then. Just clean it with a scotchbrite pad add some new chalk and your ready to go.
