Need advise on marlin watkins fiddle box

[vt35mag]

Maybe he knocks certain people off his list as certain combos are made. I think it was June when him and I last talked about a couple combos for him to ship up here to VT. Congrats again, I am sure it won't be your last.

Sure are. What did you get?

Ipe/butternut.  Wanted them all.

Congrats! I know a PILE of gobblers have met their maker due to that combo.

My favorite combo from him. That combo plain kills birds.

Here she is!  Makes me want half a dozen more of his fiddle boxes!

I played probably 10 of his calls today at the convention and I'd be satisfied with any of them.

Awesome. I have a kwila and mineral poplar that will be here tomorrow

I'm glad Marlin is into Kwila. I have a Kwila over butternut on order.

Well I got my box today. It plays a lot different than the preacherman boxes I'm use to. The rasp on it is pall the way on the very back end of the box. Having trouble getting it to sound good. Gonna take a lot of practice.

I talked to Don last week and i'm on his list for one....Regardless how it play's or sounds , it's the history of the call maker behind the box.. As most all the people i have talk to all his boxes talk turkey...can't wait to get my call and pick out my box...

[Fl strutter]

It will talk for sure just plays different but I'm getting it.

[BottomLand54]

its funny how that is but every call builder builds their call a little different, some take effort some are effortless.

when i pick up some short boxes i feel like i got to put allot pressure and effort in it to make it bark. i like a box that just runs effortlessly lol

How are you playing it? Like how are you holding the lid, box orientation etc. I bet we can help you get that thing to sing. If not, you can get your money back by selling it to me! Haha

I'm sold,,after hearing the Soundfile and the unique tone of the bloodwood over Apple,,I ordered one.
This is the first time I've ordered a non checkered neal cost style box which is the styling I love.
But the sound is just too special to not have.

I got it sounding good. Coop helped me out with a few tips on it and it worked.
