Proph

[Jbird22]

When building a call that has a latex top reed over two proph (.0025) reeds do you typically stretch with less tension than a call that's all latex? I'm not looking for anyone to tell me the number just a better idea of where to start.

Depends on what you like, for me, I do typically stretch a bit less for that setup.

I agree.  I put very little tension in secondary proph reed material.  For me, putting much tension in those reeds seems to make the front-end break-over on yelps more difficult, as well as have too high a pitch.  It also gives clucks/cuts, and most other calls, too high a pitch, in my opinion. 

It would be interesting to hear from others on this to see if anybody thinks otherwise.

I like a lighter stretch as well.

Not really.

I assume you are achieving different tensions by hand. I have a Feather Ridge and would interested to hear if anyone has a technique to consistently achieve different tensions.
