Anyone else have one? It is a topless box and made of 1/8" rectangles of wood that looks like White Oak w a 1/4" tipped pot striker made of some clear grained lighter wood. Box is 3x3 1/4" and the sides are about 1 3/8, the bottom sticks out 2" on one side w a small gap at the bottom on that side. I can't remember where I got it but it say's patented in 86. It has a loud, raspy/scratchy sound. I can make some good calls w it but wonder if i'm holding and striking it right. I'm holding the bottom of the call w the exposed bottom towards me and basically scratching it like a pot call, any tips on conditioning and using are welcome. I'd also like to know where it was made, thanks.
