Have you tried the diaphragm calls with the metal frame? If not, you can bend those to the contour of your mouth. It may help.

Try one of the small or mini frame models. Most of the major call manufactors make some versions of them. I use them for the same reason,small palate,and have no problem with them.

Quaker Boy has some mini frames I like. And don't be afraid to try and trim a few to suit yourself. You will ruin a few but then you find just what fits.

Now start with a single diaphram - single reed as they are cheaper. Fit it and then go to a double or triple and do the same. I usually trim a bit off each one I buy now to make em fit.

Primo's Mini Sonic Dome, it's actually too small for me toget a good sound out of. Try it out.

I prefer the metal frames myself and I have never gotten one that I didn't trim to fit just a little. Just remember not to trim too much. You can always take more off, but you can't put it back. LOL If you have to trim them, only take off a 16th or so and try it. Then trim more if you need.
