but not much inovation on design. Look like alot of other stuff i have seen out there. Like to see call makers come up with a little of there own style
I'm new to CFC, but saw this post and that web site is mine.
Actually when these calls were first out on the market in 1987 they were inovative looking. I have revamped the tone board a few times over the years, to continue to improve the sound. I can and have made any style you could imagine. You have a design you want made I free hand turn it for you. The fancy band on Shanes Jesus call is my creation, and I put it on his call for him. It's very hard to be inovative when calls have been made since the 1800's. I'll bet if you went back and looked into all the calls made. There probably isn't an original call design made anywhere today as far as shape goes. But with todays modern machinery the tone quality, is far and away better than say even 20 years ago. JMO
My straight single reed barrel design came from a call from and old call maker with the last name of Perry. He hasn't made calls since the 50's. And the call I saw was from the 40's. So that's where that came from. It isn't an exact copy of course, but the simple straight tapered design just caught my eye.
There's beauty in simplicity, if you just step back and look for it. Just a little fyi about me. Any more questions or comments feel free to fire away.
