I typically prefer my slate calls over any of my other calls....mainly because I have had real good luck with it, I'm comfortable with it, and it puts out a great sound.

However, there are sometimes I would like to free up my hands and go with a diaphram...especially when I have a bird working his way in. The only thing that prevents me from using my diaphrams more is I struggle with the purr (which I love to call when I got a Tom coming in). Clucks, yelps, kee kee, putts I can handle no problem, but the purr gets me.

I can create a purr, but not consistantly. I blow lightly through the reed and loosen my lips so they flutter (like a motor boat sound). This result for me isn't consistant and sometimes I can hear the motorboat sound behind the purr. (not to mention all the spit that comes out). Is this how everyone else purrs with a diaphram or does anyone do anything differentyou could pass along to help out? Thanks in advance.
