I just want to start by saying I LOVE CERAMIC. It's without a doubt my favorite surface. I discovered it back in 2011 shortly after I got into the custom call market. I started looking for the perfect ceramic pot. I've bought pots with ceramic surfaces by Ryan Bonjour, Joe Slaton, Pappy Lewis, Andy Kaiser, David Halloran, Ricky Padgett, Paul Durham, Brad Roberts, American Strutter, John Sinclair, Jimmy Shaeffer, Kimmy Hanks, Gary Anderson, Chad Hutchinson, Lyle from Houndstooth and a couple others who's name I can't remember now. I've bought well over 20 ceramic pots looking for that perfect blend of rasp, volume, and having a great 2 note rollover in the help. I won't say a bad thing about any of them but I have only kept a few of those.
If I were to give you a top 5 list it would look similar to this.
1. Chad Hutchinson (stumpy) / Gary Anderson (daybreak)
2. Paul Durham
3. David Halloran
4. Houndstooth
5. American Strutter
Bottom Line is on every hunt either the Stumpy sycamore or the Gary Anderson padauk is in my vest. Get yourself either of those pots and you can not go wrong.
