Need New Crystal

[Clardh]

You can expect to pay about 100 for a blue mahoe crystal. The wood is a little more expensive that's why it cost so much. As for the design of the pot, I'm sure that plays a part from call maker to call maker as to the sound.  There is a lot of reasons calls sound the way they do (wood variety, wood density, pot size, sound board, playing surface, etc.etc...) like I said earlier, strikers can bring out different sounds on one pot call. Harder wood for a striker can cause the call to be higher pitched and softer lower pitched. You'll have to experiment. That's the fun of it.

Turkeys everywhere I went last year loved Mark Cornelius's cherry crystal over glass.

Daryl Slaton's Crystal death is a great call. Jimmy Schaffer Glass or crystal over slate is hard to beat. Lonzo Trice makes a great call in any configuration. Halloran's Metal Mouth is as good as it gets and, of course, Lonnie Sneed Outlaw Hen (green glass)...

Loftis Crystal Screamer if you do not hunt in SC, if so then it does not work here and any other will work great.

I really like Jimmy Schaffers blue mahoe crystal, one of the best call makers out there imo.

I just got a crystal mistress and it's easily one of my favorite calls I own now

Dawkins crystal in his plastic pot rocks and they are nice because they are small, light and no need to worry if it gets wet.. I have a few crystal pots and my favorite so far are Shaffer's and Dawkins. The Trice crystal acrylic pot is a good one too but I traded to get the Shaffer mahoe pot because I just had to try one out.
