I think they will sound like different hens on any given day.  Let us know what you think!  For me box calls come down to a few things..... 1. Does it sound real?  2. How easy does run? 3. Will it play quietly?  Finding a box that will doo all three is not as easy as it sounds.

I have that combo from Albert Paul and it is a higher pitched call. But the callmaker can tune them however you specify. I asked Albert for a call to use to hunt Rios.

I have ss butternut/maple and that baby will sing! I want to try a holloran but probably not until next year.

My SSCustom calls are the easiest running callers in my arsenal. They yelp, cut, cluck, purr, and gobble with the best! They sound realistic and run with very little pressure. You will enjoy that caller. Congrats!

You won't be disappointed. I have many SS calls in lots of combos and they all are full of turkey and easy to play. Congrats!!
