Look on ebay at the vintage lohman calls ... Lohman mouth yelper, Lohman pump action yelper, lohman pump action friction call model 806 , Gobbler shaker call... all of these can be operated with one hand ....

One of Shannons push pins with velcro. He would be set.
Sure would be, but those are rather hard to come by and I am not sure of what the gentlemen finances are. Would be well worth the investment though from what I have seen and heard in soundfiles. Thanks for the suggestion. Oh does Shannon make a version that would mount to gun and maybe have a string to it the way the old Quakerboy version did?

I had not thought of a tube call, I will talk to him about that as well. Thanks.

Thanks Greg, I will pass this entire thread on to him. Hoping one of the suggestions will help.

Tube caller is an option until you get to the tuning part.

Hey guys I met a gentlemen over on facebook and he has had a stroke and does not have use of his left had/arm. I showed him that turkey vest and attachment that would help hold the gun up (H.S. Strut version) and was wondering if you guys could give me some ideas that would help him with calls as well. I am trying to see if he will come over here be at this time I will be relaying ideas. Thank you for any help given, I really want to help this guy.
Get with Espo. From old crow.  He made a box call that attaches to your gun and you pull a string to work the call.

I am guessing that you mean Old Crow Custom Calls?

I would recommend a good push pin.
Thanks, that seems to be what most are thinking. I have not heard from him today, so I do not know what is going on.

Are these still in production? Haven't seen one in years.

As for helping with the topic, most has already been discussed. Diaphragm being the most attainable, I'd start there.

Yes, Primos brought them back under another name. Now they are Mossy Oak Bottomland but basically still the same as the old pop on tubes.

Not sure if his mouth was effected by the stroke, but if not I agree it is the most attainable.
