Pot wood

[LongSpur440]

When buying a custom pot if there isn't a sound clip how do you know what wood and or surface to pick?  I know diff wood gives diff tone but what sounds good to one may not to another. Do you jus order one and hope for the best?

There are a lot of custom call makers that will do that.

And they will explain what each wood is "intended" to sound like... crisp, mellow, etc. In the end, the wood choices are more about density. The actual look out of that group becomes a personal preference. (Just my opinion... I don't make them, I just buy them  )

I have seen where they will play them over the phone but I would feel bad telling them to play them all lol,but  I guess if they want to sell one they wouldn't mind. Next prob would be picking a favorite. I would be on the phone forever
