I 2nd the Power Bugle for the beginner, but really like the ol' reed and tube once you get experienced. Also, that darn Hoochie Mama Primos came out with last year rocks!! Every one of our crew now has one -- mostly because they just keep working over and over and you don't have to worry about the reeds getting wet, all that. We combine the Hoochie, the Sceery calls and reeds in our mouths for all our sounds and our "mock" elk herd!
