i made the mistake of taking a women with me last time i got near calls and quickly got the stereotypical "you have enough of those already" ( repeated again as i approached the knives counter.) i got a short reed about 3 years back after playing the flute for my first 6 years of the sport. maybe it is just my short reed, but both calls go afield. the short reed makes a deafening honk that has turned specks of black on the horizon into locked up geese at 20 yds, its faster i can double and triple honk no problem and with two other callers it sounds magnificent. on the other hand i have little in the way of a low end and my flute makes those feeding sounds and low volume sounds much more efficiently. so they both hunt. actually the way i learned the short reed was that once i figured out how quick the air had to travel to make a honk, i figured how to make a fast clucking routine than slowed it down into those long distance brrrrrrr-honk! sounds. a buddy used it one day taught him the same way, now he bought the same call, i tuned it and its better than mine, i think i will steal the guts from it. listen to the lessons of the teacher with the white chin straps, they never grade on a curve. enjoy the new call
