shortbox maccasar ebony over??

[jed clampett]

For those of you that have shortboxes with a maccasar ebony paddle what wood do you have for the box and how does it sound?

[M Sharpe]

I don't own one, but I did play one of Jeff McKamey's at the nationals this year that had a teak box that I really liked!

[REBELYELL]

Have not personally tried all of these, but have heard some good ones.

Persimmon
Butternut
Black Limba
Poplar

I have a Whitt maccasar ebony over black limba that sounds pretty good.

Ebony over holly makes a fine box too!!
Albert Paul makes one and calls it his Henry Davis call.

Got one. It sounds fantastic!

I have the same Henrey Davis edition call from Albert Paul.  It sounds really good , however i have one from Marlin Watkins that is over persimmon. Its one of my personal favorites out of a truckload of box calls i own.

I have two macassar box calls, the first is a Halloran ebony over poplar, and also a Marlin Watkins Ebony over persimmon.  I personally think those are two of the finest boxes I own.  I have a couple boxes with leopardwood lids from AL over at SS calls, and that is another one to think about.

over holly or persimmon

I went with yellow poplar and really like it, but was going to go holly if I hadn't.

Anyone have a sound file of their ebony over persimmon, or be able to describe the sound?
