I wouldnt worry about what cuts others want.You need to focus on what cuts work for YOU first so that you can convince customers to buy them.Nothing sells a mouth call more than the fact that the guy making them can actually run them and run them as correct as possible..For instance, lets say you cant run a combo cut call but everyone you know wants to buy a call with that cut from you..How will you make the sale when asked face to face to run one or asked over the phone? How will you know the call even works period if you cant run a particular cut? If you are just looking to make money and could care less about the call actually working properly, you wont last long(not meant to sound harsh but I could fill a room with guys who have bought a press then found out it aint so easy to sell the calls) If you are truely in to the good call fact then build the calls that you can run first, you can learn other cuts later and learn to run them properly.And to give you a hint on cuts..Each cut can and will require different stretches and reed configurations if you want good ones..

good info. from XT.  I only make the mouth calls I like then if someone else wants one then fine with me.  I'm not out to sell my mouth calls though, just enjoy making them for some buddies and my brothers.
