I'm looking for a raspy crystal to compliment my Crystal Mistress. Opinions on each of these calls and advice on which one I should go with? I'm sure I can't go wrong with either as these are both elite calls.
You're right. Won't go wrong with either one.
Never heard the mad hen but I love my twisted sister!
My twisted sister is Raspy!

TS is super Raspy
Original Mad Hen has a sonic rasp. Best I can explain it.
If I had to pick one, Mad Hen mainly because it's different from any raspy call out there.
I like rasp but prefer just a touch less than these two have.
For Crystal I'm into the Metal Mouth this year. Great over all tone and rasp.
I have both, and at least mine have a good bit different sound to them. I will say that my gen 1 is a bit less raspy than most of the others out of the gen one batch I picked it out of several he played for me and its a killer pot.
To best put the sounds of my two. The TS has that real high front that a lot of Hallorans have and really breaks with a crack into rasp with a hard bite.
My mad hen is more of a medium high front and with a deeper toned rasp on the finish. You could describe it as a more mature hen sound
They both tone down well and get loud although I might have to give overal volume to the TS. I pulled the mad hen out of the vest a lot more last year.

Thanks for this! I have a Twisted Sister which I love, and was thinking about a Mad Hen but wasn't sure if there was enough of a difference in sound to justify getting the Mad Hen. You make it sound like there is a difference so I think a Mad Hen is in my future.
