I think the vast majority of hen bones are better than gobbler bones.. I think it takes longer to learn to use a gobbler vs. a hen bone.  But i strictly used hen bones for so long.  I just don't know why you would want a larger hole than what is needed.  But.. I will say you sounded awesome on that sound file.  Can you take a picture of the inside diameter of the mouthpiece.  Because a gobbler bone up here looks like a darn snow goose.

Your gobbler bone looks very small.. no joke intended..  shoot a pic of the inside diameter of you get time.

Looks like a snow goose bone... I am seriously inquisitive about the size of the gobbler bone... from looking at the picture I would have thought that was a hen bone.. I can put a pick of the gobbler bones I am referencing..

Im not looking for justification that hen bones are typically better than gobbler bones in reference to mouthpieces I think that is understood by most.  almost all suction yelpers use a 3/32 hole which mimics more of a hen wingbone.  I was trying to see if there was a reason there are so many gobbler bones out there and yes you did answer my question.  People can play them well.  yourself included.  Can you play a hen bone as good or better??

You just said that   "A GOBBLER BONE UP HERE LOOKS LIKE A SNOW GOOSE BONE"  I don't think you know your bones....
 I only came to the defense of gobbler bones being uesd in some calls.  Can a certain gobbler bone be used yes....Can all gobbler bones be used....NO.. are hen bones always better.....NO... it depends on the I.D. of the bones being used....

Here's some pics of different bones I have in the shop.  The first pic from left to right is a small gobbler bone from a southern 2 yr, old, a hen bone from Pa, or N.Y. and a Canada goose bone.





This next pic is in the same order left to right showing the internal deminsions of each....







As you can see this particular hen bone has more of a rounder I.D. than the gobbler bone.  This gobbler bone has a flater I.D.  In comparisn THESE two bones are about equal in internal size.  Trumperyelper, goose bones are typically smaller than hen bones.  I have never used any in the wing bones I make, but have given some to my friend gonehuntn on here who has made some killer cane calls out of them.

Trumpetyelper, I totally agree with you and sooner about the number of wing bone calls out there that are made from the wrong sized bones.  Most of the time its very obvious when they are......

Not attempeting to throw a wrench into this debate, but the old timers use to plug the end of a gobbler bone w/ glue and then drill a hole to get the sound they liked.
