I am not "In the know" when it comes to custom calls,and I need some help.There are so many call makers.I have a cody call,and dad's.I'm curious in your opinion who are some of the top quality custom call makers.I hear Steve Harrison is good.Thanks!

what kind of calls are ya interested in. I think there are many excellent pot call makers. And less for box calls and yelpers

slate calls,I have plenty of glass/crystal calls.

I am looking at the Steve Harrison osage orange slate,talkin' stick,cane creek,woodhaven,lee's champion slate,ray tom,s&s,tom teaser,and light's out honey locus.

If I had $400 I'd buy them all [8D],but I can only afford 2 of them,and I am having a hard time deciding,especially when I can't hear them for myself.I didn't know who the more popular makers were.Thanks for any help!

Oh,and I don't want another high pitched call.I'm looking for a raspy..deeper sounding call.Thanks!

Hey, Im abig slate fan myself. I have one of Wendell Rye (Lights out) Glass calls in Honey Locust. He has a slate in Midwest.It is pure T turkey. I see you are from Geogia one of the mostdeep nasally soundingslate call I have is from a guy in Americus,GA. Brett Murray. Ill try to find some links to his calls. He makes a great one.

I have got a great sounding glass and slate call from Andy Kaiser at Kaiser Kalls and I have got a box call coming from Shalloow Rio that I am pretty excited about

So tell me, whose opinion are you going to take for fact?

99,I am very happy with Steves work and you wont be sorry purchasing that osage orange!Lot of good custom call makers out there anymore!As far as a deeper sound from your surfaces is concerneda good rosewood striker on slatemight be what your lookin for.Alot of mistakes are made by fellas purchasing a whole new call when really a change ofstriker is really all you needed to do to get your desired tone..

All you named make a fine call. Just take the plunge and pick the two that sound best on the phone or flip a coin!
I really like my Bud and Betty slate call.
