i'd imagine due to time and tuning.  i prefer hand made, but i imagine people can turn out more calls buying plastic mouthpieces.

i really like the look of gregg's calls.  i have a call from jack mincey, but i'd like to pick up another, most likely from gregg.  buckner makes a fantastic crow call as well, that has a wooden mouthpiece.

Dang, Dave that call is smokin cool.  Very classy.  I might have to catch up with you for one like that.---Jason

P.S.- I agree with SilentK, I hate a custom call with a cheap plastic mouth piece.  Takes away from th calls appeal for me. Plus I don't like the feel of plastic on a crow call.

 Those were by far the hardest calls I have ever built.   Trying to duplicate the sound by hand, drove me NUTS.... If I were to do any more, I would have a jig made from the design of one of the first I did.

KP am I going to have to  ban you?  You gotta give me some warning before posting those beautiful Osage calls!  You might as well add a crow call just like that one on my order too!

Like I said before, i'm gonna try and make my own this summer.  That's why I started making my own sound boards in the owl hooters, I wanted to set myself apart from the rest, sofar i've only made two with wooden sound boards and they were both sent to Nashville.  I've got them sounding good, but I think I still have some work to do on them, I have to get them sounding a little deeper and not quite as raspy, maybe a little more user friendly, where it don't take quite as much air to blow.

My guess is anything you build will turn out just fine Chris..... RkLu
