Title: What's the best wood combo for copper?
Post by: Ranger518SVS on April 10, 2017, 01:19:20 AM
I'm looking at ordering another copper pot call. I have a 3 1/2 in cocobolo copper over glass with redwood mushroom tip striker, and love this call. But, I want to try a 3" pot and not sure what wood combo would sound the best.

The harder the wood the better.  I've found that the stuff I have stabilized, have sounded the best.

Cocobolo makes a great copper call....even in 3"....personally I prefer a slate soundboard with copper....mellows it down some.

I also have a 3" macasser ebony copper over slate that is a killer.

But yes, anything super hard and super dense is best.....find a piece of snakewood, and you'll have a call that will sing!

Iam little different I like the copper in a med hard wood like ash just gives it more of a mellower tone,, if their not built right they just sound like a tin can in very hard wood
