I use Foiles Strait Meat. I think acrylic has a better sound and wider range to it than any other material. I've used Canada Hammer, Illusion Flute, Zink's Power Clucker, and a Goosezilla. Love goose flutes, butI love short reeds more.I didn't like the Power Clucker very much, and the Goosezilla I bought sounded bad when I took it out of the package.I thought maybe I just needed more practice on short reeds, but it was drasticly out of tune. Tried to return it and they wouldn't accept it.
