As far as middle of the road calls go there not much better than the cheaper calls you can get at Wal mart IMO. Maybe a little better sound but they still stick and squeal and what not. If he's looking an easy to blow top end call the Rich-N-Tone original's are just as good as money can buy. ($130) The RNTshort barrels are good too if you like/need a quieter call. (thats what I have) Pretty much any acrylic call will fit the bill. Just be ready to drop at least a $100 or more.
