TECHNIQUE
For the best results:
- The striking surface is pre-conditioned, but it will need to be refreshed occasionally with the included sandpaper.
- Hold the call away from your body; cup it between your index finger and thumb.
- Hold the striker like a pencil at a 70-degree angle to call; rest your other fingers solidly against the call.
- Apply light pressure from the striker when calling.
For the most consistent pitches and tone, use the upper third of the call. The center of the call produces deeper tones.
- Cackle: Move striker in straight, quick, ¼" lines, 7 to 10 times.
- Cluck: Move striker very quickly in straight, ¼" lines using popping motion.
- Cut: Move striker very quickly in straight, ¼" lines with broken rhythm (ex. 3 notes, 2 notes, 4 notes).
- Purr: Slowly slide striker in a straight, 1" line across surface. Hold striker higher for more consistent sound. Use scouring pad to create additional friction as needed.
- Yelp: Move striker in a short oval or circular motion in ½" lines, producing a two-tone yelp, 5 to 7 times in each sequence.
