Call with deeper tone
Permalink  
 

"Santa" left me a nice Gibson Short Magnum call today. He had clearly been by the CrowMart on his way here. I now have two good calls, counting the Faulk. I was hoping the Gibson would have had a lower pitch to it than the Faulk, but it is a bit higher.

Which of the good quality calls will give a deeper tone? I want to be able to make the deeper (I would call it gutteral) crow sound as if it were an old crow or the sound of the dying or wounded crow that we hear on the recordings. Know what I mean?

Hope you all had a good Christmas day with the family.

Craig

OA: Move the reed forward.. slightly forward. Tone will deepen. Let us know how this works out. Different calling styles produce different pitched sounds in the same call. I have several Gibsons.. they all will growl of reed is set properly.

 Thanks to you and Skip. I completely forgot about the ability to adjust these things by moving the reed. D'Oh! momentconfuse

Works great!

I like to have both with me. A high pitch call will do better when you need to reach out to far away birds or in windy conditions. A lower pitch is best when calling fish crows or to change the sound to try on shy birds. Demi

I.S. Me too!! One higher pitched and one lower covers about all "call sounds" and outlines one of the advantages of using a mouth call vs. electronic though I hasten to add, proper use of BOTH mouth and electronic calls are better than either alone. The 3rd call on my lanyard is a hawk call. You will find such a call a plus in nesting months and for a while after the young birds leave the nest... the "triple threat" works, sir!!
