I find all friction calls will work,depends on the tom, and the particular day. Just like people, we all have a certain thing we look for in our woman, and we are all different. But I just say my sweetest call is home made, I cut a thundering and mounted it in an oak base. It has a ve r mellow sweet sound, with good high pitched mixed in. And each side of the stone gives off different sounds. Oh and if anyone goes to town with this idea, I would style for 15% of your profits! 😇
