Recommend me your best slate

[Txag12]

I've never been a slate guy...only own one slate, a lonzo Birdseye, and it's just very subtle and soft sounding to me. That said I want to give slate another try and see if there is one out there I may like more. I've always been a glass/crystal guy and think I may just not have a ear for slate. Tell me what yalld go with!

Any opinions on the hanks Osage slate?

Mine too. And I probably have close to 75 slate calls.

For a little more mellow sounding slate,  Eddie Wynnes persimmon slate.  For crisper sounding call,  Paul Platz cherry slate is hard to beat.

I don't know. "Subtle and soft" sounds pretty good to me!

My best Slate is the Halloran Wenge and Walnut slate. It doesn't run like a typical slate. More of a hybrid of slate and Crystal.
Derrick Stuckey makes a slate that's incredible. It runs like the Halloran W/W also. I would have bought it at the National Convention if I had enough funds left.

Recently got a Brad Roberts Walnut that will I will hunt this year.

In the past, a spring allure slate has served me well and a Lonnie Mabry ( they are a little harder to come by if you don't live local to him). The Halloran Wenge/Walnut is great also

Txage12, I too did not like slate calls at one time due to them sounding "subtle and soft". And yes that lonzo maple slate is  "subtle and soft". I like a slate with some pop and volume like a glass call. lights out, cross road, derby city, glen marrer, Lonnie sneed, paul platz, .... are a few I think you would like the sound of. P.S. any of these calls can also sound "subtle and soft" by just wrapping your hand around them, holding them tighter and moving a little toward the rim or center with the striker.
