Stones?
I sand my strikers flat and then hold it at an angle, using the edge, Wrong?
I have only one striker that has a flat tip, which came that way. It has a plastic horn, hardwood stick and polymer tip. It is especially useful when the slate call is damp or wet. In that condition some of the other strikers I have used do not work well. I do not sand the tip, rather just buff with 3M Scotchbrite patch.
All my other strikers have rounded tips and respond differently if I lightly sand or buff them. I just experiment.
The maintenance on the slate call is buffing with a 3M Scotchbrite pad only.
