The call sets in your middle three fingers. You seal your lips against your hand, not the call. You must seal around the call with your hand. some cupping with your other hand somewhat like a trumpet. You draw air in like a trumpet, but very little air, and you will develop a whistle, like a real turkey............... It took me until my third session, but I love the way I can Kee kee now. Good luck.

Here are the directions.   If you are not getting sound out of your call, you can phone me.  It takes about as much air as breathing.  I will be at the "Tools of the Trade" in Nashville.

The Kee-er is about 2.5" in length, and .7 “ in diameter.  Lanyard is included.  It doesn't take much air to run the call.  My recommended method, of running the call to get the best sound, is to place the Kee-er, round end up, in the hand where fingers meet palm.  Let lanyard hang out back of hand between first and second fingers.  Make a fist with call inside.  Then press the top of fist to mouth, insuring a good seal, and draw air through the call as in breathing, not whistling. Upper and lower limits of the call can be found by drawing in the least amount of air to start the call whistling, then slowly increase the amount of breath until the sound shuts off.  A two-note Kee-Kee is achieved by varying the speed of air through the call.

Ralph,  looks like a great little call, been wanting to try one. How can I get in touch with you, never cared much for Acrylic but Blackwood sounds nice.  Roy

Ralph, I got mine yesterday and it is a sweet caller for sure.  I think I need a little more practice, I was able to get the sound the first try.
