Me three. My slate that I ordered a week or so ago hasn't shipped, I'm trying to add this to the order.

What is the pot made from?
Anddddd done deal. You guys are awful. I just sold a few calls and have some up to add some funds for some stuff I have ordered....this absolutely did nothing to help my case!
Sweet looking call! He said it was sycamore
That is nice looking. I'll have to try one in Nashville. Just got the first version on here.

Ready to hear all your guys reports!!! Proud to say this will be my first ever from David, but waiting a couple weeks to order one.
Thanks for the heads up BABS, I wouldn't have seen these yet!!!
Not trying to derail this threads, when y'all order form his website do you get any confirmation or shipment confirmation?

Login to your paypal account, that's your receipt and you will have to periodically check it for tracking info. You don't usually get anything direct from him, at least I don't.
Great looking call. Never tried the original. I do like the looks, but got a couple months to think on it before some start popping up at reduced prices.
I will probably wait til the limited edition box is released before buying the MM2. Don't know if he has any other calls up his sleeve either.
His booth at Turkey Rama this weekend? Anybody able to report what he's got that is going?

He just put a video playing call on YouTube. Link above
I'd like to hear that call run outside.
That sounds like a wind cutter for sure

I'll probably only add one pot call this year so I wanna pick a good one that will see the field. Hunting at least 3 states take up all the call Funds

I don't see how it can get much better than the original metal mouth. Looking forward to playing the new one next Friday.

Well, guess I couldn't wait anymore because I pulled the trigger on the MM2... And the ebony/walnut box.

Hard to say. I wonder of he will delay shipments until after nashville to make sure he has enough on hand for immediate sale
Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
Ran one today. It was smokin! :firefighter:
Ran one today at NWTF.. it was killer. I'd have one but he was sold out. Just had 1 left to allow people to try it and take orders for it. I'll have one eventually.
Picked up one yesterday at the convention paired it up with a David's one piece jatoba strikers it sounds great has nice back end to it
It does sound good, I can confirm that.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I liked the file. I ordered mine before the convention. Had a couple of buddies go and they gave me mixed reviews. Played a few of them the first day and said one was really good and the others were ok. Said over all they are nice but both decided not to buy one. They just felt like it was no better than the twisted sister or mistress. I can't wait for mine to show up.
Looking like we may have to wait for him to make some more if he sold out at the convention already.

Has anyone heard if he is making a special edition pot this year like the flamed box elder from last year?
Since he came out with the green slate and mm2 I'd bet not. He released the FBE pot last year for the convention so I don't see it.

I am very fortunate to have had the chance to own that little beauty!
Got my MM2 today. I had decided to pass over it for the Green slate today until I put an Ebony striker on it and she came alive!
I'll have to get the Green Slate on order in a few weeks now.

I went to my local outdoor store on Tuesday. They actually had two. Got to run one. I could definitely tell it had the same board as the original Metal Mouth. I already have the original so I didn't pull the trigger on the new one. Look forward to hearig some of y'all a opinions on it.
Why doesn't he sign calls he sends to stores? Non of the calls they had were signed.
If it's better than the original it'll be dynamite!
All he had made Up sold at Nationals. Saturday Night at dinner he had 17 mm2 orders come thru , Thats in Just over 1 hour. With them selling out you can imagine what the next few days were like. He also sold out of Double glass, Walnut/ Black Limba and Walnut / Butternut boxes and yes he has to Builds calls for the Dixie Deer classic on top of a regular job running a construction company. Just to let everyone know callmaking is not his only job, and believe me he has been Wide open since He , Ashley and Mike left Nashville headed for New York.
Im fairly sure mine shipped and should be delivered on Saturday.
Everytime a package is shipped through the postal service to my address, I get a text message. I signed up for this service through USPS.com.
At any rate, I got a notification that a package had shipped from Salamanca NY and will be delivered 3/3/2018. When I ordered the zebrawood/poplar laminate green slate, it also came from Salamanca NY.
I'll post back if I get it Saturday.

He is also working on a zebrawood slate for me too, so that could also be the holdup
sweet! Glad you were able to get another one.
Got mine today! This call just looks bad to the bone. Awesome rollover on the yelp. It has a lower tone than my Mistress. She starts high and drops fast into some rasp. This will be an excellent locator pot. Another killer from David Halloran.

Got my MM2 in the mail today. Shipped with 2 piece dymondwood and 1 piece Ipe. Ive had about 20 minutes total to run the call so here's my initial thoughts.
The new MM2 looks infinitely better than the old MM. The one piece pot is awesome looking since he stained the wood and goes really well with the engraved soundboard.
I had the original MM and killed a bird with it, then sold it. As far as I can tell, this pot sounds very similar to the sound of the original, but with a slightly lower tone. In my opinion the 2 piece dymondwood sounds better than the 1 piece ipe, but the ipe does sweeten the call or mellow it out just a touch.
Overall Im pleased, and happy with my purchase, but its a tough choice between the MM2 or the Mistress for his best crystal surfaced pot. The MM2 is way better than the Twisted Sister and slightly above the Double Glass. I never had his cacklin crystal to make any comparison.
Some may feel different, but these are purely my first thoughts upon running the call and only inside.
Ben
Mine came today also. I have to agree with everything said so far except I don't and haven't owned the original Metal Mouth to compare to. I think we all have different ears pertaining to the sister or mistress and I've always leaned sister for my ear. For me personally the call is every bit as good as the mistress and on par with the sister. I can't say "better" than the sister as of right now because that particular pot has brought quite a few birds to the barrel for me. As far as general sound, looks, and playability go, David knocked it out of the park. It will absolutely get vest time and I hope to have similar results from it as I have from the Twisted Sister!
Dang it y'all are killing me. I placed my order an hour after his Facebook post. When did y'all order.
Yep. Still patiently waiting for mine. Hopefully it will arrive this week!
Waiting on mine as well. Can't wait, everything I have read sure makes it sound like a turkey magnet.
Got mine today
Just received mine today. Took about a month h. Sounds and looks fantastic.

I picked one up at the Dixie Deer Classic. Personally, I like it much more than the original metal mouth. It's got a richer, more crisp tone and it is more forgiving especially on the front end of the yelp.
My personal take on mine is im not real happy with mine. Rolls over easy , looks awesome but lacks a strong backend like I personally like. I contacted David and he emailed me immediately and told me to send it back he wants to take a look. Davids a great guy and I love his calls. I may have just got one that could have a defect. He is mailing so many out and so many orders coming through it is very possible. He is gonna send me another to try. Not bashing or being negative , again David makes a great call and will take care of you.

And it happens
I got a call before that just sounded dead didn't really pop when you got into it. We exchanged it and the it was night and day. I'd imagine sometimes it's hard to pick up on it too running each for 10 seconds in a line of 50 going out the door.
I'm just waiting for the final verdict to render on these before I decide if there's enough difference from the twisted sister to own both and either carry both or replace the sister in the vest.

That says alot about David making good on the call and reponding that fast this time of year.
I think David is a good guy doing the best he can to keep up with an overwhelming amount of orders. Glad he's taking care of you. Im sure it's tough for him this time of year.

I got my MMll today, I like it! I think it's a little bit better than the original MM. It will definitely get vest time this spring
I'm with you there TJ, it is hard to differentiate between the 2, but it just feels so good to get a new call from him.
Those metal mouth II's with a solid Ipe striker are almost like cheating imo.
Always had great experience with David. Enjoy talking to his dad at the shows as well.
Davids calls are almost so perfect in appearance that they look like their mass produced. I don't know if that's good or bad. The MM II is an awesome looking call.
I honestly didn't like the feel of the the laminate. It looked and felt almost like plastic. I like the sound of it though.
