Here is a new call from Lon that I got in a couple days ago, and just like the rest of his calls...it will really sing a tune, especially with the crystal playing surface. I have quite a few of his calls.....including his new acrylics, and just wanted to show appreciation for the calls he builds. Really nice fella to deal with, and he makes calls at a reasonable price, with a minimal wait period. Highly recommended.....
You are right. Lon makes a great call at a fair price and you usually don't have to wait too long for them. I have his Yellowheart crystal over glass and it's a good one too. I got a Cocobolo crystal over slate on order and I got these two great sounding calls yesterday, a Katalox glass and an Orange Agate slate, both with aluminum soundboards.

He made me this Paduak aluminum for me last year, also with an aluminum soundboard.

These are great sounding calls, but those new acrylics are on another level.
Yes the acrylics are really something else. Has anyone got one with a slate surface yet? I have the glass and aluminum
Mighty fine looking calls from Lon. I hope to run some of his calls at Nationals and pick out a couple slates. Hopefully a black acrylic and maybe a Yellowheart.

Jody let me hear the soundfile....man oh man......
He sent me a sound file last week of it. It was very very good. I called and talked to lon. He sent me another sound file of one. He had just glued up a few. I bought one and he mailed it out Friday along with the acrylic aluminum and a one piece dymond wood striker. Can't wait.
