WTB a Lonnie Mabry slate.
Good luck with your search, I believe you'll be happy if someone is willing to part with one.
I agree you will be happy if you get one. Mine would be the last call I part with. It screams turkey.
Good luck with your search.
mikejd is correct. Once you have one of his calls you will have a hard time parting with it. If it don't sound good its firewood. He won't let anything leave his shop that isn't all turkey. You have to pay him a visit.
Hi slate and his aluminum pot are both top notch.
Lonnie can't get the aluminum anymore he wants. If you have one, keep it! He's not currently able to make them and may not for a while. His glass and slate are every bit as good. Most people don't even realize that he also makes long boxes, short boxes, vibrating tongues, jet slates, scratch boxes, wingbones, cane yelpers, as well as the pots and strikers. He has put a serious dent in the turkey population over the years.
