Nice job Al

Those look great. Have seen those but have no idea how they make them. I am going to have to do some research.

pitw · June 06, 2009, 10:48:19 PM

I'm sure they look great, but what do they do

you normally post good stuff so why would these be any different.

Barry:
You suck on the skinny end Kinda like a backwards kiss and it makes a yelping sound like a hen turkey....very hard to master but it is one way the Indians used to call turkeys.

Here is a short Vidieo of me calling with a trumpet which works much the same way.....

Hey that is pretty cool eh. I'd have a mite of a problem just sucking on bone someone sent me so I may have to figure out how to build one of them out of tame turkey wing bones. Thanks for clearing that up for me Al

Man I needed that this morning needed to clean my keyboard out anyway.

I have never tried one of these either. Kee Kee used to make and sell these and they were very cool and well made. I almost bought one of his with the display wish I had now.

Good clip AL like the sound they make very clear.

Well heck Al now you make it sound like there is work involved and being a lazy person that dosn't sound right to me

. How about if you build me one and send it on up here

. I'll let the wife test drive it[just to be safe you know]

and then I can do some more learning. I think you know where to send the Bill.

CCP sorry about the clean keyboard but you obviously have some reservations too

I thought the trumpets were easier to use then the wingbones, but I have never used either. Al can you post a clip of you doing that on a wingbone call?

alscalls · June 07, 2009, 10:38:55 AM

I can try Jimbo but I will have to slobber on a bone....... :roflmao: :roflmao:

alscalls · June 07, 2009, 10:57:54 AM

I think the wingbone sounds better but I am out of practice.....
The only real difference in using them is the tapper on the end and a smaller hole on the trumpet yet they both require a lot of practice to master and ya got to keep it up to stay that way.

Here ya go Jmbo wing bone yelper....

Well you may as well charge him then Al!! Ya gotta make the rent somehow buddy!! :roflmao: :roflmao:

Actually that does sound purdy good.

pitw · June 08, 2009, 12:09:38 PM

Hey that sounds good. Who the Sam Hill was the first to think of calling turkeys with a wingbone. I'm thinking a wingnut. What's the diffeence between a trumpet and a wingbone?

I would say the Indians were first but who knows...

Here is the difference.......no voice inside just a hole....the rubber stop is just an anchor point like a kisser button on a bow.

A lot of trumpets and wingbones are way more fancy ...I even made one once with the turkeys spurr in the middle bone and deer horn on the bell end.

Nice chumface, nice.
