My loving and wonderful wife <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> bought me one for our anniversy on the 6th. I have to say I'm very pleased with this call so far. It's made of "frictionite" just like their call "frictionite" and is very similar to the composite of the Knight & Hale Ol' Yeller call. (which I have and love, so do the longbeards) It came with a new striker called the "gravedigger" which not only sounds good on the call but about all my friction calls. It appears to be a rosewood striker with a large hollow plastic bell. The call itself has alot of volume when not "strapped on". It can also be toned down. I was worried that it would sound muffled when strapped on but it does not. Sounds very nice actually. Can't wait until the spring season to use this call. It should awesome for closing work since I prefer a friction call over the mouth calls. It should also be good for finding those old toms when not strapped on. Oh Yeah... My wife got it at wally world for $19.99
