Recently received a Poplar Brad Roberts Poplar bronzed glass over aluminum. Had a suggestion of maccasar ebony for the striker as well as granadillo. I talked to Brad today and he will have some grandaillo strikers turned soon that I will jump on, but for the time being I'm in the market for the maccasar just because I've seen a lot of folks reccomended it for their glass/crystal call and they are my favorite surface. What do you guys like as far as call makers? Right now I'm looking hard at Stuckey's because it seems to be his bread and butter but I'm open for all suggestions!
You can't go wrong with a Derrick Stuckey striker - l have several, including a macassar ebony, and they are my favorite strikers.
Looks like I need to pull the trigger! What dymondwood do you like from him merriamasman? I saw he offers a camo, emeraldwood, bubblegum, and santos zebra? Just curious as to if they offer a different sound individually or if "dymondwood is dymondwood" and they sound the same.
Bill Lyman makes an excellent ebony striker. Cox and Derrick make a good one also. Can't go wrong with either of them.
Have one from derrick sticker that I am happy with! I assume you're looking for one to pair with that new Roberts you picked up, I think you'll be happy mine sounds great on my Roberts black walnut glass/alum
Derrick stuckey , fred cox and bill lyman gets my vote.

I have a camo green diamondwood, tulipwood, purple heart, and macassar ebony - I like them all, but my favorite is the diamondwood.
I also just got a Brad Roberts bronzed glass over aluminum in blue mahoe pot - that is one fantastic call.
I like Harold Fowlers Maccasar Ebony one piece striker.
I have a Fowler an Cox both. Cannt go wrong wth either imo.

just asking,, why would one striker, made of the same wood. but made from different callmakers sound different on the same pot call??? if they are made within the same length and weight...
Stuckey no doubt. It will run anything
Brads Mac ebony sounds great on his glass/aluminum pots!!

Only with my experience you substitute Hallorans for Lymans.
For what it's worth this is an old thread but I ended up going with a Stuckey Mac Ebony and like it a lot. I like a heavy striker and Stuckey's fit the mold not to mention his Mac Ebony is a runner on just about anything I've used it on, especially on glass/crystal.
I have several Macassar Ebony strikers and I run a Lyman.
Hunter22, how can I get in touch with Mr. Lyman as far as purchasing his strikers goes?
Bill Lyman, 315-225-1536 He works dayshift last I knew, so best to call in the late afternoon,early evening

There was one for sale on here last night in the classifieds along with a cedar and bacote. I almost picked them up just to have extras seeing I already have them but I didn't. After seeing Bill's post I wish I had
