Bo, the Tru Double is just about my number 1 go to call. I have used one for years. The longest i was able to use the same call was two years before it developed a slight tear in the corner. After two seasons of hunting i feel i got more than my moneys worth. The point i will make is the reeds do wrinkle and i have found that is when i get the best sound out of it. I just began the process of breaking in a new one yesterday. I have found that the reeds wrinkling has absolutely no ill effect on the call, if you are accustomed and capable of using stacked framed calls in the first place.
