I've been using a couple different batwing style calls from Houndstooth game calls the last 5 years or so and really like them.

Sadler McGraw makes custom calls in 6 different stretches.

Kluk Custom Calls is my go to.  Try the Crying Karen in low stretch.

I know a guy

I know that guy, too  ^^ ...and he is a great contributor to this forum.  His screen name might give his company name away.  ...Support the people that support us here! 

Here's another hint:  It is not the call maker, it is the call...and the caller!  Every single one of us makes calls that are made of the same materials.  Furthermore, every single one of us has different abilities to make turkey sounds due to our own unique calling mechanics.  you can get a hundred different answers here as to which calls to try and NONE of them may work for you.  You must first understand the different factors that make different calls better for some folks than others.  Those are 1) your own calling abilities, and 2) the combinations of reed materials, thicknesses, stretch, cuts, and spacing which all contribute to whether any individual call will work for you.

...And the final (and extremely important) factor is knowing how to "tune" your mouth calls with modifications to the reed cuts and layers to achieve the sounds you are looking for.  Unfortunately, all of this usually takes TIME AND PRACTICE...as well as possibly raiding the old piggy bank a few times...   ;D :icon_thumright:

I just went through this and tried a few recommended calls. I couldn't mouth call for a few years due to a medical issue. Without question Black Label are the ones to get imo. If you go to the site he's got videos so you can hear them but be advised, he's a good caller so you'd prob not get what he does from the calls. That being said try em you'll be surprised.

Just started on Denny Gulvas calls this year, they're a completely different animal to use but boy when you get it, they're the most realistic best sounding mouth calls you can get at half the price of others. But after using regular "cut" calls and running them the traditional way for the past 22 years, it's a HUGE learning curve to basically forget everything you know and start over. But in my opinion it's worth it

Have you used mouth calls before and just wanting to get some new calls or are you buying some to learn on?
There are some that are easier to blow than others.
Some things to consider- less reeds are usually easier to blow.
Some find a smaller call works better for them.
Also how you blow a call- direction the air comes out, can help determine which cuts will be easier/ sound better for you. Not trying to overwhelm you, there are a lot of variables when picking out a mouth call size of call, # of reeds, tape combos, thickness, stretch, cut...
Maybe try and call or email a maker you are thinking of going with and get there suggestions for you.

I have used Hooks  mouth calls for years- and love them- especially the executioner.
