I know a lot of people that have difficulty making the quiet seductive putts, purrs, and soft clucks with a diaphragm. They can yelp and cackle but the soft sounds that help get a bird into bow range are sometimes more difficult. Anyway, something that I realized is that pretty much everyone uses a full size call and most people don't trim their calls. A smaller frame diaphragm makes it much easier to make these sounds and is just as capable of making full tones and volumes as any other call. I tried the mini mag from quaker boy a couple of years ago and found it extremely easy to use. Since then I've turned a few friends that previously had difficulities and it made a huge difference for them. I just ordered a set for dubbyasdoe, so she can call in my big birds (although she probably doesn't need ANY help). Anyway, I'm sure this is common knowledge to some but I just wanted to share.
I trim allof mine and have no problem making those soft seductive calls now.
Good lookin' out.

Good advice! The problem is I can not purr without moving my lips, and I'm pretty sure that's not how you are supposed to do it. It sounds good but I want learn the right way. Do you know any sites that can help explain it better?

Funny you posted this Dustin i almost did the other day , i was un-gifted with a small pallet in the roof of my mouth, no matter how much i trimmed, it did no good because the frame was still to big, i had to go to a youth size diaphram with the dome, all is good now, im using the quaker boy with a triple bat cut.

There are a couple different ways.
Rolling your R's while blowing is one, which I absolutely can't do. I choke.
Or how you described, by moving your lips. I explain it by calling it the "Motor boat" way.
Theres no right or wrong, just differen't.
