If you're using Quaker Boy or MAD or HS Strut or other production diaphragms..............do yourself a favor. Try a couple calls from someone who is NOT mass producing, but rather, building them one at a time. You will be AMAZED at the difference.
For a couple decades I was on staff for a smallish call company and we made them one at a time. The company got sold and I had to start buying my diaphragms again. I found a Flextone that was just the schizz. I hunted that call that whole season with a lot of success. So I bought 3 more............just so I'd be in good supply. Long story short.......when I started breaking into the 3 new calls, EVERY ONE OF THEM ended up in the garbage. Loose reeds......just sounded like crap........no consistency from the original one to the new ones.
I got a lead on a smaller callmaker and gave his stuff a try. A bit more expensive. But the calls are QUALITY and consistent one to the next.
