As bad as I wanted to mark Turpin, I marked what I'm best at... pot calls!  I'm getting much better with boxes and soon I'm sure that would be what I would answer with.

Soft calling on a pot call has killed more turkeys for me than anything else. Not sure if this says my loud calling is not good or what. I have killed a few birds with nothing more than a couple clucks, purrs, and scratching the leaves.

 Well, gonna be the black sheep and say Scratchbox... Our birds are super pressured and not many people use the scratchbox here.. I've had that call work many times when nothing else would! Just something different the ol' Tom's haven't been hammered with all season..

I marked "other" cause my first choice would be a diaphram.

I think nothing beats a good slate. Although they can be a bit tempermental on cold spring mornings.

Ok then does Mikey mean the turpin style box or the turpin style trumpet. When I hear turpin I think trumpet first and box second but I'm not a knowledge of turkey call history.
