Title: The Other Side
Post by: davisd9 on September 23, 2024, 05:37:20 PM
Made a post a while back called Bits of Jealousy. I sent my buddy Ricky Padgett a blank of Brazilian Rosewood and ivory. The original blank was large enough to cut in half so I sent the other side to Mr. Permar for a hex call. Well today he sent me a picture of the finished product and man is she beautiful! Cannot wait to get her in my hands!

Very pretty. I would like to get one of those hex calls myself based on looks, but I have wondered if the shape makes them have a different sound than a round one, what do you think or does it matter? I think I make them all sound ill at this time anyway. :)

Not a concern with sound.

If I was only allowed one more call the rest of my life, Ralph's Hex would be it!!!

Nice caller! Are they tuned similar to that of his model 45?

Oh I never meant does it give it a negative sound, clearly it is a proven product, just wondered if it was different or does it make it easier to place with the shape? Thanks again.

Do not think it effects it one way or another if internals and all is good.

Would not call this a white whale, but I would say it is a long time coming. I think Mr. Permar's Hex call is one of the most cosmetically beautiful calls made. It is a call I have drooled over for some time. Let me say, I wish I could capture its beauty in a photo but this is the best I have. It plays wonderfully to boot. Cannot wait to hopefully be taking a photo of it beside some beautiful bronze feathers this come spring!
