I don't care what color they are just would like to have opinions on your best sounding slate surface calls you've been around or have/had

Here's mine

1- Buster Halford Red slate- fantastic!! This call allowed me to sell a very expensive slate because it was better.

2- Eddie Wynne persimmon slate,,your just holding solid quality in your hand

3-Lonzo Birdseye maple slate,,very underrated call

4-Platz cherry slate,,Platz quality

5-HS Strut original double slate over glass,,I don't care HOW cheap the price tag is these KILL turkeys.

I never had the chance to try a Cody so can't compare yet.

I have a few of Eddie Wynne's slates, including one that has a super hard piece of grey slate and sounds more like newer green slates. Got rid of all my other slates and have zero need for another.
