I saw a commercial for diaphragm call hybrids where the normal mouth call is build into a bell looking frame for external use. I know this will still require a hand to operate, but do you diehard mouth call guys think these will work well as an alternative for those of us who just can not use a traditional mouth call?

I think they will work- I was actually working on a prototype of that style call lol. Too slow! Here is the kicker, they will not replace mouth calls. Your mouth gives you so much flexibility and movement so nothing but the mouth can reproduce the call.

That sounds like the original Knight and Hale Tube Call.
I about wore out my lip on it and still couldn't get the right sound out if it.

Lohman had a "pump action yelper" that was essentially a diaphragm call in a tube and the air to operate it was supplied by the closed end and a pushing action towards the reeds.
All of them I heard sounded like crap although they would probably call a turkey in.
Was the call you saw marketed by Flextone? They have something similar I believe that was designed by a friend of mine. Don't know how it sounds. He just designs what they want. I'm at the NWTF convention so I'll see what I can find.

It was a Michael Waddell commercial so I believe it was from flextone. |
