Trimming is the way to start I keep in my teeth when moving as well. I never had the problem. It is meant to be in the roof of your mouth. The advantage is your hands are free. Blow calls are ok when your at a distance. Were we hunt the elk get very call shy its easier for me to call softer with a reed and vary the sounds pitches. I guess bottom line is keep practicing. I prefer mouth calls I can bend to fit the roof of my mouth. Good luck
