Need advise on marlin watkins fiddle box

[Fl strutter]

Just got on his list and would like y'alls opinion on wood combos from him. Looking for a nice high/medium pitch with not a lot of rasp. If anyone has some soundfiles that would be awesome. Thanks.

All of Marlin's calls for the most part that I own or have heard have been fairly raspy. Raspy in a good way.. That being said the most recent one I received from Marlin was Bloodwood over Pear which is a wonderful combo. Some of the files he sent me this last time were Mora/Butternut, PH/Cedar, and also Bloodwood/Beech. Mora over Butternut had the least amount of rasp out of those listed and was the combo I had originally asked for until I heard the bloodwood/pear. As me and my buddy Sixbird on here have discussed, whatever call you think you may want from Marlin will more than likely change to something completely different the day he messages you that you are up!

10 4 thanks. I've heard great things about his calls. I'm not a fan of a lot of rasp bit some. Looking forward to hearing from him.

I could try to get some soundfiles to you tomorrow if you would like.

Give him a call.  Marlin is a great guy and will gladly help you pick out what you want.

I'm on his list. Spoke with him today.

His calls are great and hard to go wrong with any. Over the years I've had a bunch but I always seem to carry a bloodwood over butternut or carnarywood over poplar

I just picked up his bloodwood over apple! Its a turkey killer! You cant go wrong with any of his calls!

[Fl strutter]

I'm waiting patiently for him to call me saying I'm up. Looking for a soft talker with not a lot of rasp.

His Bubinga/Applewood is the best sounding box call I've ever heard. Followed closely by his Bloodwood/Mineral Stained Poplar

Marlin will definitely have something you are looking for... Along with something you are not, which will leave you thinking you have got to have that one too.

Any box from him is a killer. I own 7 of his fiddle boxes and will say my favorite is Ipe over Butternut. You will not get a bad call from him.

Bloodwood lid on most anything he makes,  but goes good with butternut. I hear his bloodwood/pear is out of this world.

[Fl strutter]

I'm not looking for a lot of rasp. I'm sure he'll have something I'll like.

Won't get a bad call. Marlin won't let anything less than his best call out of the shop.
