Hang on Bud ,I'll go back and find that last tips I posted ...BT man can't find it.Purring is not the easyest call to make on the mouthcall.

OK - Purring on a Mouth call !
Not all mouth calls are good to purr on finding one that works well for you is the start. V cuts and cutters work ok.
Purring is done the same as you would if you where gargling mouth wash ,useing the back of your throat. Place the call in the palate and lighty gargle as you add presure to the latex , letting the viberations run over the call , adjusting the presure will adjust the volume of the purr. A good purr is done with your lips almost closed only alowing a limited amount of volume out....BT

Here is a link to an article that I found about mouth calling, including purring.

Totoe, hello- I use a plain dbl. reed,and I blow the highnote, softly.and to get a purr, I leave my lips loose -like children do when they are playing w./toy cars & boats to make a &quot;motor sound&quot;-You should try it. it's only drawback ( for me ) it tickles my lips. but it's effective when Tommy three toes is close & you cannot get away with any movement with a striker or box-GOOD LUCK !!!

I use the same technique as muddyduck. I have a hard time with the gargle technique but the lips method works like a charm!

RE: ..Help i cant PURRRR with a mouth call...
 

I use both methods, but thing of the &quot;gargling&quot; method slightly differently. I growl instead of gargle. It does a lower pitched purr like a fighting purr. The right mouth call is very important to getting the right pitch.

I do the kid lip techinque to. I hate how it tickles, but what can you do. I still have problems making soft and low.

totoe, BT helped me get this call down as well!! I could never, for the life of me, figure out how to make that call until BT showed me how!! Thanks again BT for the instruction!! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

totoe, i'm not a very good caller with the mouth call. but i have learned how to use one the past couple of years. the key for me was to find a call that was good for purring. i finally tried the quakerboy srceamin green 4 pack. i found that i could make good purrs with the old boss hen and the pro triple. the other 2 the world champ and the jagged edge did'nt work well for me. i hope this helps. good luck and safe hunting.

Hello Totoe ole pal.....
Try the cat purr with the call in your mouth,kind of a ppppdddddddd kinda thing....works real good for me...also helps to relate the sound to a dove coo.....your tounge should be flapping against the roof of the mouth....play with it and you will get there...

TL, nice to see you around ! Maytom no problem , the Purr is simple if shown how it is done. Getting the right call is another ticket as beretta has stated. Latex thickness plays on the pitch of the Purr aswell. Most new calls out are thinner and seem to viberate better then the old thicker stuff. A cutter or V cutt's work good. Knockemstiff Keep the practicing going, if you did it once then you'll find the spot you need again....BT

I do the lip putter thing, too. I'll have to give the gargle a try. I have found that for me a raspy call simply won't work. The smoother calls are easier to purr with.

I read Bosstom's answer to this question a few weeks back and it's the easiest thing to do now. It does depend on the call, some are a lot easier than others.
