Which is better... Echo or RNT? Single or Double Reed?

[champcaller]

it just depends on you. try rnt and echo. i prefer rnt but thats just me.

champ, i see i am gonna have to convert you like i did gh22. .



gordon, we need to get together and set up a swap,,,,you remember

haha good luck.


ill be at the rnt shop monday and im gonna ask about a msducks batch ... ill report back

[GordonGekko]

and does every call need to be hand tuned?

do you mean before or after the purchase? most every call is tested and tuned before you buy it (believe it or not even the Haydel's DR-85 is).... the extent of the tuning depends on the call (cast calls with stoppers like the Haydel's generally just get blown to make sure they sound like a duck, but an the higher end calls are more likely to get "tuned" by the call tuner, if that makes any sense).....

on the flipside if you want to know if you need to tune every call after you buy it, that's a personal decision, but if you get one you don't like you can often tune it a little to fit the way you blow a call.... NO TWO PEOPLE BLOW A CALL THE EXACT SAME WAY, as a result, it is usually in their best interest to learn how to tune a call....

[champcaller]

every call is a little different. no two are the exact same way... for hunting calls you have a little give but for comp calls you need to blow em before you buy em. most people just have to have different reed lengths. if you blow really hard into the call your reed will need to be a little longer and vice versus

just make sure to change your cork when is starts to sound 'flat'

[grnhead1]

hunt where the ducks really want to be, and you don't even need a call

That is the truth........
Josh do you have a twin brother?

No i dont..

[southerngamecalls21]

were i come from they call RNT stick in tone. I own three then i decided to try some others. I have an original daisy cutter and timbre. u always have to re-tune them all the time if you blow alot. and they stick horribly

SGC21, welcome to the forum.

First things first..........all calls stick.

I've never found one that wouldn't. RNT's stick just like Echo's, Gaston's, Zink's, SGC's, etc.......the list goes on and on. I've seen alot of callmakers claim that their calls don't stick, but I've yet to find one that didn't. Calls sound their best when they are on the bordeline of sticking. These calls with the cut out tone board for non-sticking do not sound good at all.

very well put...

[Tedl10]

Just got blow them all.. Figure out which one fits you the best by the way you call.. For instance, I went in Mack's today wanting a rnt sb or timbre and ended up buying an echo xlt because it fit my style best. JMO

[SuzyShooter]

These are all hand made and tuned... Acryllic or wood. Made in McComb Mississippi.

whoa.. slow down killer


just go try em both and see what you like. NOBODY can tell you which call is better or worse or which is the best. you have to make that decision for yourself
