Okay, here are my 2 favorites for sound. First one features what has become my signature wood IPE, but this Ipe is special stuff--it came from the Cony Island Board walk. This an Ipe lid with poplar inlays, over a yellow poplar box with purpleheart inlays and spacers and sumac end blocks and resting on an Ipe base with poplar between. When I quartersaw the Ipe is has spectacular gold highlights---almost like looking at a gem stone...tiger eye, or similar--just beautiful stuff! This has a classic yelp sequence on both rails..starting nice and high, even has kee kee's and rolls over hard to some nasty rasp. The left rail is crispier than the younger right rail.

This next call seems to work for me everytime...Padauk over Cherry. The padauk lid has curly maple inlays and the box has bubinga spacers and inlays and curly between and it sits on a padauk base with curly maple between again. This call should really be going with me to Nationals and it was really painful *cry* to let this one go. The sound in this box is supremely classic in every respect, high, runs real easy, breaks hard and finishes with a distinct raspy yawk and it is capable of getting nice and loud when you need it.
