Single Reed vs. Double Reed

I respect the Yentzen legacy (learned to quack on one) but they are TOO old style and don't sound nearly as good as a DR-85 which is also very easy to blow.

I was in Easton, Maryland this weekend with Kent Cullom and the rest of the crew. Kent won the world live duck with a $45 Echo poly double reed. As Kent kept telling everyone who would listen, his routine was 59 and three-quater seconds of pure duck. He did get a great sound out of that call. Four out of the five callers in the world live duck were blowing double reed calls. By the way, if y'all ever get a chance to go to Easton for the Waterfowl festival, you need to go. It was a great time. Hunted on the Chesapeake Saturdy morning with no luck but we had a great time.

There's no doubt that a double reed call puts out more bottom end than a single reed. Last count I got, Kent got about 15 different hens out of that double reed echo. :lol:

Mike Pauley had the best quote of the night after the contest Saturday night. We hunted open water on the Chesapeake Saturday morning and didn't kill a duck. Mike said you know why y'all didn't see any ducks, they were all in Kent's call.

That was my first trip. I didn't blow, just watched but there was a pretty strong field. The Waterfowl festival is a very cool event. Lots of antique decoys and art, good food and great calling contest.

DR-85 is nice, ducky sound and easy to blow. I also have a old cut down Duck Commander that is awesome, it will put ducks on the water.

The Echo DR has really good highs. To get a good low out of it you will have to tune a little.
