Title: Wood hardness and sound
Post by: Candyman on June 02, 2022, 04:47:18 PM
Does the hardness of the wood used to make tube calls have any affect on the sound produced? Or are there too many variables to determine if the wood hardness matters?

 The material does make a difference but a LOT less than other calls.... boxes, pots, scratchers whatever. Like outdoors said other things make a bigger difference on a tube.

Agree, woods and hardness does affect the tones. It's just like the different thickness of latex used on a tube, it produces different sounds ...

yes, as does the material used at the lip next to the latex.
