Box Call Tuning
 

I have a Lynch World champion box that is one of the sweetest sounding boxes I have heard. It took me a while to get it there but it is " there" .

It seems that I have to chalk it quite often and I have been told that if you clean the paddle and rub it with a violin resin?? and then chalk the chalk will stick better and the paddle with grab the sounding boards better.

Anyone tried this??? I hate to screw up my call.

Yep and it works.

Sometimes, however, the rosin actually " grabs" the rail too well and you end up breaking into a purr when you were trying to start a slow yelp or whine.

But, it still works. You won' t " screw up" a thing.

if you are not already using a tuning peg,try placing a 1/8" dia. peg inside your box towards the back and wedge it about 1" from the back. the further you move the peg forward, the keener the sound .changes in the tone has made a difference several times for me. sandpaper seems to be the only cure for my 102 box tones.i have had mine since 1963 and is the most original sound that i can make.:)
