Believe I'm going to add a good custom longbox to my collection. After much deliberation, I've narrowed it down to these three callmakers. Which would you choose, and why? Thanks.

All Three of these callmakers make good calls,  I own a Albert call long box in poplar/  walnut and have had very good luck with it. also check out Marlin's fiddle box's  Very nice calls.

I got Al and Josh to make me a longbox a couple weeks ago. It is a zebrawood over walnut and is alllllll turkey. Kees on both sides, good rasp on the end. You don't have to push on the paddle to make it yelp or kee-kee. The weight of the paddle does all of the work. It has the sound that a long box is suppose to have. Don't think you will find a better one.

I will order from Pappy because of the pot call I purchased from him and the ease of the transaction. Most likely it will be a scratch box.

You can't go wrong with a call from Al and Josh.

:agreed:

My advice is you call each of them on the phone, and have them run a few to find what your ear likes to hear in a call.

Just a suggestion.

I think if you could have all 3 of them in your hands and run them it would be an easy decision, but thats probably not possible. I agree with PAboxcaller. Call all 3 of them and ask them to play their calls over the phone. I am a little biased because I have 15+ Albert Paul box calls. I also have calls from the other 2 call makers. Good luck with your choice.
