Are you hunting spikes on the east side?If your son means a triple reed diaphragm I will have to disagree. A single reed is way easier to learn on and use.Also for a beginner an external bugle may be a better option while you learn to call.With that said if you are hunting spikes/cows on the east side I would primarily stick with cow calls. For that, I would get a single reed diaphragm and external cow call and start practicing.

Most of the areas I'm considering allow for Any Elk or Any Bull. When you say "external cow call," I'm unsure what you're referring to. Are they a tube type call, similar to a deer grunt tube that can be used also as a doe bleat call?
I will give shout out for Phelps game calls because he is to courteous to do himself. Check out his website, and buy locally made calls that work.

I bought one for my dad and he is a very novice caller. He takes it with him on his drives to work and he almost sounds like a cow elk now.
