New call idea

I came up with the notion that there may well be a market for a  small open reed call that I could sell for a lower price.  The call I came up with today is a stripped down version of a Killer call, only smaller. Air channel of tone board is more narrow, and the .014 Mylar reed is also more narrow. The barrel is same diameter as a killer call, but shorter. This little call has good tone, not quite so loud, and somewhat easier to blow.


I am thinking of offering these for 15.00 plus shipping.  Do you guys think they will sell?

I bet that would sound great! I personally would love to find an open reed call with a narrow reed and short or no bell that could be worked softly. I stink at calling but one of my favs is a Reese toneboard that i have taped together. It really offers a lot of volume control for me!

Rich,

I think I need one for my collection.  Let me know when you are ready to start selling.

Hawk,
After reading Shadragger's post, I think that I will try a .010 reed in that little bugger. I am thinking that I may need to modify the tone board bridge a little, but if I get it to work with both .010 and .014 reeds, a man could enjoy the choice of two calls in one package. Just switch reeds. I will keep you posted.

OK guys, this call works with .010 reed or .014 reed. Here is a sound bite with .010 reed installed.  http://www.cronkpredatorcalls.com/sounds/bunnyBlues2.mp3

I have dubbed the new call "KILLER 2". It will be available in all white, or white tone board and gray bell like the one in above photo.

Rich, that may be a winner.  Can you post a soundbite with the .014 reed for comparison's sake?   There you go driving the neighbor's dog crazy again.  :madd:

It does sound good and is a nice small sized call.
