What is the differences between the zebra wood and poplar other than 10 bucks?

Buy them all, keep the one you like the best, sell the rest. May take a little loss but you will have the call you prefer and won't be wondering if you made the right decision.

The problem I will have buying them all is I wont want to give any of them up!

Send me a PM with your cell number and I can send you sound files for both of the Roberts, the Poplar and zebrawood bronzed glass over aluminum

PM sent!

Well, after hearing the sound files MDTOM84 sent me I decided to order Brad's Zebrawood... And David's Metal Mouth!  I liked what I heard with the poplar, but the front of the yelp with the zebrawood did a little more for me.

I just hope that I am able to put up a couple calls in the classifieds, but we will see.  I don't know if I have the capacity.  I usually apply my dad's philosophy on guns to my turkey calls, "You never sell'm, only buy'm."

Listening to both from the same person gives you a better choice
Than hearing them from two others , playing m

I might be the only one here that feels like this but I own both of the Roberts pots and I am very underwhelmed by the sound. They are beautiful but I don't think they are special sound wise

Take a listen at Mark Cornelius' new Cherry glass over aluminum on his FB page.

Here's a head to head comparison - same crappy indoor conditions, but both played with the same maccasar Ebony striker:

I like the sound of Mac's cherry glass / aluminum too. Seems the aluminum soundboard has found its way in 2016 among the makers...

I think you'll be happy with what you picked out - it's a start  :camohat:

I think your going to be happy with both the ones you picked. Both sound good and both will call turkeys in. I also want to add in the future if you buy more calls you really should look into Lon trice he makes a heck of a pot call. His black acrylic calls are hard to beat and really all his calls are hard to beat. His black acrylic is one of the best calls I have ever heard and I'm sure many will agree. And another plus to Lon there isn't a finer man than him either.

Well after sleeping on it I decided to get the poplar too... Play them both for myself and keep the one I like more.  A lead time of 2-3 months played into that decision a bit as well.
