I've wanted a copper pot for several years. I have had it told to me that anodized aluminum is better but I always wanted one for really reaching out there with a pot. I also like the "ting" along with the rasp. I've started getting interested in collector quality calls and figured I would see if anyone has recommendations before I buy a random one at the mossy oak call convention this weekend. Thanks.
Copper pots: Mike Yingling, John Sinclair, Wendell Rye(Lights Out), you can try Gooserbat on here, these are the ones that come to mind. I'm sorry if I missed any of our fine forum Call makers that do indeed make copper pots.....
Lights Out, Michael Yingling, Preston Pittman made one a long time ago that I have had excellent luck with. So many great ones!!! Also if you like the "ring", get a Titanium pot!!
Have a good one and May God bless, Bo

I'll second this if you really want the ring a titanium sings. I have a john Sinclair titanium that is no doubt the loudest call I own

If I were you I'd jump all over this one in the classifieds. As many have already said, you can't beat Mike's copper.

Mike Yingling makes a great call. I have one and love it. I also love the one that Wendell Rye made for me out of Leopardwood and Copper.
A copper Spring Allure I own has been the death of probably more turkeys than any other pot I own.
Mike Yingling. Not just the sound, but there is something about the looks of the stabilized pots he makes.
Mike Yingling hands down.
I like Larry Gresser' 3" copper.
Mike Yingling gets my vote as well
Mr. Yingling is a popular choice. Although he needs to upgrade to PayPal ????
Jessie Jefferson of C4 - Crooked Creek Custom Creations. Has to be though, I started my only turkey with his copper. Mike would get my second pick though.

Thanks, he did a good job on it.
I have an Andy Kaiser in a Cocobolo Copper over Crystal that I really like. Actually, it's the only copper call I've kept, I've given away the others to friends as gifts and the kill with them, the one that comes to mind is a Mike Yingling.

Another vote for Mike Yingling
There may be some other builders who make a similar or even better pot than Mike Yingling, but the one he sent me was so good that I just have not had a desire to look for anything better. Plus, he is a joy to deal with and his prices compared to most of the top builders are beyond very fair. To get his copper pot and a DARN GOOD carbon striker for under 70 bucks is a no brainer.
If you order one from him, I suggest you get one of his two siders with the slate on the back of the copper, just the icing on the cake to have the ability to flip it over and get really soft with ease. And don't be afraid to LIGHTLY use that 400 sandpaper he sends out with his calls, as it will really take the sound to a whole another level. If you go real easy with it, you cannot hurt the call.
Give one of his copper pots a shot, you won't be disappointed.
I'm not a big fan of copper pots, but i do have one from Hall, it's copper in a cocobolo pot, all i do to keep it condition is rub it with a scotoh-brite pad...
