Might hafta try one myself sometime.

Same here.
I've seen them posted, wondered what the heck?...and then moved on again.
How much Gene? We gotta see what's going on here.

Tube calls are great for those who struggle with a diaphragm or are just looking for a diaphragm sound from something different. Pretty versatile for the more "practiced" caller, but still useful for a novice.

Tell me where to Paypal ya.....I'm going to have to have one to give a proper review.

Which one do I want?
I'll let you decide, but I'm thinking anything thats NOT Diamond Wood. Diamond Wood has it's place and I like it, but I dont think it's for these.

Jim, you have a IM.

Got mine today. I asked Gene for a thin walled version and he delivered a beauty! Sounds fantastic!

What's a tube call? Can you do a sound file?

FinsnFur · May 26, 2011, 09:18:34 PM

The biggest reason I got one Brad was to see what it was

I've seen them and heard OF them but never really used or held one.

Mine came today by the way Gene.

I thank ya kindly sir. And I think i'm beginning to figure it out.

Brad my best analogy would be, it's a turkey diaphragm call for beginners.

Diaphragm calls tickle my mouth and lips so bad, I cant tell if I have to poop or squirt....or if I just did both

These tube calls are like a diaphragm mounted on a call which is a tube. So it eliminates all the vibration inside your mouth.
My GAWD! THAT sounded bad

I think I'm going to delete this whole post.

... ok that's funny as heck,... but I still don't understand.. is it a diaphragm turkey call then? I'd still love to hear a sound bite if someone can put one together.

I'm sure Gene will save me next time he's around, but I wouldnt call it a diaphragm turkey call, I'd call it a latex turkey call. Which simulates a diaphragm.

It does, yelps, clucks, purrs, etc, by blowing through the latex into the tube.

You wont get a sound file from me, I've only owned mine for a little more then a day

Tube calls and mouth diaphragm calls are ,IMO, diaphragm calls since both are made with latex rubber. They are used by those who can't use a mouth call but also by experienced hunters. With practice, a person can make every sound a wild turkey makes including the gobble.

I don't have a mic hooked to this new computer yet but will try to do so this weekend and make a short sound file.

Sounds like Finsandfur ,Jim, is getting it down pretty good and I like how he describes it.

good deal, I appreciate it!
