The calls I hunted this year were made by Doug Morgan (Slate), Andy Kaiser (Glass and Bronzed Glass), David Halloran (Crystal), Kimmy Hanks (Aluminum), and Sadler McGraw (Slate purr pot).

Let me know if you run into a more relaxed, down-to-earth, or more superiorly skilled artist in call building, and also if you find another call that is absolute pure turkey as well as aesthetics like his calls are... unlikely...

Lon Trice
Paul B Durham
Dean "Redbeard" Mundhenke
Jack Mincey - (highly underrated for aesthetics and sound quality)
Ricky Padgett
Any of these gents will build you one hell of a potcall..

Interesting I figured Brad Roberts would come up a lot. I haven't had the Platz and Corder. I am sure they are great and I know I am leaving out a bunch of great pot call builders but here are a few that I use and don't ever feel like I am at a disadvantage with any of them.Mike Yingling, Misfire, Chris Brumfiel, SS custom calls and 2 that don't get any recognition but Are great are Gooserbat and Scott Hock
Old Footballer going to make this list if he keeps on.

Agreed! I got 2 of his calls last week and they're both winners!

Just sent $ to him for that beautiful paduak he had up there for 3 minutes until I spied it! Chris Brumfiel makes a MEAN ceramic too!!
Both will be in my vest until I film a review this weekend. Then they go back in the vest until fall - with the exception of practice days!

Thanks for all of the posts, I think this will make a lot of people aware of some names they have not heard of. It sure did that for me.
