I've not played the Dawkins but that one seems to be a favorite.  Of the aluminum calls that I have.  These are the top ones.  All sound great but different.

While I've not used several of the others posted above, I've got a Yingling aluminum and my Halloran should be here within the next couple days. Mikes stuff has enough rasp to it that I'd bet you could pull a poult off a hen if you scatter a flock in the fall. Im sure that many of the calls listed above are great calls but there's something about the way the Yingling stuff sounds to me. Just has that sound I'm looking for and they are extremely easy runners. Heck, had my nephew playing with one a couple weeks ago. He'd never picked one up before but had it going and sounding good in less than 10 minutes. It was pretty cool.

My best aluminum by far, Bill Lyman Wenge aluminum. I personally don't care for anodized surfaces in aluminum pot calls. Bill builds a great one, that is not anodized.Again that's just me...

Not to steer you away from something you have your mind set on but I would look at Titanium as it "in my ear" sounds better and also it requires less conditioning and doesn't foul up your striker as much as Aluminum in my opinion , not speaking to anodized at least.

Dawkins stoned aluminum in a plastic pot and Paul platz cherry. I also have a stoned aluminum in black acrylic pot coming from lon trice. That stoned aluminum is awsome. Grips good with very little to no  slip.

Calls that have been mentioned are great.  I would like to add Adam Proutys padauk and yellowheart laminate slightly bead blasted aluminum to the mix.   It is so close to Pauls cherry aluminum and I love the slightly bead blasted stuff.  Scoot

I agree w the calls mentioned n would like to add two more. Mac's walnut or redheart aluminum or Dawkins walnut anondized.

I have the same call.  It will be in my vest for sure. I'm waiting on a Dawkins aluminum and would like to get a Titanium call. I'm not sure if either will be able to beat this call, but it will be fun finding out!
