Title: Double Double closed reed
Post by: Orion on May 08, 2009, 05:30:53 PM
When I had a closed reed call for sale a few months ago a guy emailed me and asked if I could make a closed reed with two reeds.  Told him I would have to figure out how to drill the holes and turn the call.   In a few weeks I had a sample for him but he never answer my email.  So I kept the first one that was a little rough and made two more on special order for some local hunters.  With both a double reed cotton tail and and double reed jack these things make some great sounds!

Very innovative  :highclap:
I bet they really do sound good too. I had a Zepps call with two reeds in it, that made awesome sounds.

You plan on continuing to make them and sell them, or was this just a whimsical? :wink:

Jim - I will be making some for sale.  Need to turn the wood that I have drilled for regular closed reed and some open reeds.  Then I can set up to do the double double drilling on the lathe.  I also have another dozen calls at the laser engraving shop, they should be ready next week.    :eyebrow:

Thanks,

Doug
