Looking to find some folks that use David Halloran's "Crystal Mistress" I have the two standard strikers he sends out with the call and although both sound good, they both sound about the same to me.

Any recommendations on a different striker he offers that will match up and give me a different sound?

My fav personally was the cheap 2 piece ebony striker he use to have. That thing sings using that striker

I like the strikers he sends with it.  They shouldn't sound the same. Purple Heart one should be higher pitched on the front end with sharper clucks/cutts. Diamondwood has a bit more rasp on the backend. I also have a zebrawood striker that I made that sounds awesome on it as well.

The two piece macassar ebony he used to sell is my favorite on mine. Wenge sounds pretty good also.  Chuck

I run a two-piece dymondwood and a Dad's laminated hardwood on mine.

Dad's bocote sounds pretty good, about halfway in between the two that come with it for hardness.

I don't know about on the Mistress but Del's Jabto striker is deadly on about every thing I have

What does he sell with them now?

I'm also curious about what sounds good on it. I think that may be my next purchase.

I am using a Dymondwood from callmakerman.  It is nasty on the back end and hard cuts will make your eardrums bleed.

I picked up a couple more strikers. One is still waiting to be shipped, the purple heart one piece from David Halloran himself.

The other was a one piece Jatoba from Savduck  :drool:

Thing is gnarly. I thought I just sucked at playing a kee kee on a pot call but after getting his striker I can do anything with the Crystal Mistress. It plays so much better than the two piece strikers that came with it.  I can cluck with those a little bit better but I can purr, kee kee and cut it up alot better with this Jatoba striker.

Now I need to find one equally as impressive for my new slate call from David.
