You need to find the sweet spot on your lips ~ Say did I make that call? My early calls I made do not compare to later yrs. I learned as I made!
One thing you can try is sand the mouth piece a bit. Make sure it has a square end. If that does not do it - then glue (epoxy) the end of the moutpiece shut and redrill with a 1/8" bit. I glue all I made at the end as to me it was just far easier to make them work.
I used this call to get 2 birds to respond last yr. I like wingbones on windy days too.
