Every year I buy two new custom calls. These could be any type/surface. I have never bought a pot call with an aluminum surface. So my question is who makes the best aluminum pot call? Let's hear your thoughts.

Thanks

Everyone will have a different answer....so for mine, the best aluminum I have heard is my Hank's Padauk aluminum. Sounds awesome to my ear.

Schafer for rough aluminum. They've been fantastic. Mark Cornelious and Dustin Jones for slick aluminum. If you can get your hands on a Dawkins aluminum

As mentioned, it depends if you like slick anodized aluminum or rough aluminum.  Also, how much you want to spend?

For rough, Schaffers Sapele is a good one.

For slick, Lonzos Black Acrylic is second to none in my opinion.  A little pricy at around $100 but worth every penny.

Lonzo also makes a stoned aluminum that is great and really easy to play.  I have that one in Orange agate. ~$65

Dawkins makes a stoned alunimum in plastic pot for $50.

If I never played an aluminum I'd start with one of the stoned and go from there.

I just got a Sinclair anodized in a king wood pot that sounds great.

I have had a few and I like my Brumfiel the best in a Mahoe pot

I have owned several, and run a bunch. Bill Lyman makes one of the best slick aluminum pots out there.
I like slick aluminum period, but that's just me.
You will always get multiple opinions, on any surface, especially when it comes to who makes the best. Just depends on what one likes....

Cant go wrong with anything from Jimmy Schafer.

My reply above was to black anodized. I just got a Yingling raw aluminum that sounds great also. I feel the raw aluminum grips better than anodized and that is why all of mine are scratched up. I prefer copper or titanium and even stainless over aluminum for metal calls
