Call Schafer from Oak Ridge custom calls. Great guy n he'll play some for you though I'm
Not exactly sure what he has so call him. Lots of other great custom guys around but you're prob at a tough time of year. Some of the makers are in Midwest Turkey, it may be a better bet if you can't find something elsewhere. I'd say slate if you're looking for one good call, if you  want crystal, Schafers mad hen or Halloran Crystal Mistress are hard to beat.

Bowguy hit it on the head,  any crystal from Halloran will be a great choice,  I really like his new metal mouth but his crystal mistress is great.  Also the original mad hen or mad hen 2 would be great choices also.  Scoot

Lonnie Sneed.  Inexpensive, easy to run and sounds great.

Cant go wrong with any of the mentioned calls.I have the crystal mistress and the Sneed Hot Hen slate and they are my favorite pot calls.Ill also add Mike Yingling to the list. He makes great sounding calls @ a great price and they're very easy on the eyes too.Great C.S. by all of the above listed callmakers.

John Sinclair titanium... very easy to run, and sounds fantastic.

He has a bunch on ebay, and ships very fast....you'll have a call a few days after you pay.
great guy to deal with and all his calls are quality.

You didn't state what surface you wanted. Slate, Glass, Ceramic, ect.  lot of good names already thrown out there and a whole lot more to be named.
