Ma , nice call, I would have to think that the pitch would be a little higher with the material involed. That should be a awsome call for Florida, as the folage can be heavy in places...BT

Huntnma,

Looks like a Kaiser call. I had Andy make me one this past winter and it sounds good...

Sometimes with higher pitches a soft wood striker will lower the tone and add rasp, maybe try a Cedar Wood striker on this call as you may find the notes your looking for. If you don't have a Cedar , email me and you will have one ASAP ...BT

Very nice Ma!!Thanks for sharing!!I happen to like the sound of a good purpleheart striker on my alloy calls.A broad tipped acrylic or plexi-glass stiker on metal can produce some nice sounds also!!PUUURRRTTY CALL!!!!!!!

thanks for the advice and the offer to get that cedar striker, that was sweet.....i have this ol' cheapy carbon striker that makes it sound real good, a lil higher pitch then i like, but over all it sounds pretty darn good....i will definately take it in the woods with me......
