I don't use one, but I believe the aluminum surfaced pot calls are very high pitched. They are available commercially from several makers.

Made a box call for Dad a couple years back out of locust, paddle was oak. The harder the wood, the higher the pitch.
Woody, on a completely different note- can you clean up/remove some of the "sticky's" at the top of this forum?

I got a brand new aluminum over slate made by Willie at Magic morning turkey calls. He is like 19 but he can make the calls. It is in a cedar pot. And he is a very nice young man.

deerdude, you'll probably find that more people have better luck with higher pitched calls, because that is what they are using. It never hurts to have a wide range of calls when you go after turkeys. Even though they may like one call on a certain day, doesn't mean they'll touch it the rest of the season.
Aluminum is typically louder and higher pitched when you really get on it. There are also some very good glass calls on the market that have a higher pitch to them.
If you don't want to invest in a new call, maybe just changing strikers for a call that you have will do the trick. Carbon and aluminum strikers tend to give a call a higher pitch.
Or you can get a hold of a custom call maker and tell him what you are looking for and he will probably work with you. Lighter woods tend to give calls a higher pitch as does a longer dowel or lighter end piece. Several strikers for the same call can give you the ability to really change your tone.
