David Halloran calls?

[REN]

ok i am set to get either the Double Glass or the Crystal Mistress but for the life of me i cannot decide. Anyone run both of these and have an opinion. I am leaning toward the Double Glass at the moment. I talked to David on the phone today and according to him the Double glass is just much more raspy tone where the Crystal has a higher pitch and a bit more bark at the back end.

i got a crystal mistress but have not used it yet. however, it sounds awesome and so realistic. just ask bigj. :grin:

i'll use it saturday at the fort and let you know!

 

[REN]

yeah i know BigJ's opinion on it lol

I wish i would have just bought his when he sold it for nothing.

I just havent run either of them personally but i do like a raspy call! and i also like the price better on the Double Glass.

I have the double glass and mine sounds good. I emphasize mine because no two calls sound exactly the same, regardless of the measures taken in building them. Mine has a nice roll over with a good bit of rasp to boot. I do not think you can wrong with ANY of David's call as I own a few and have been using his pots since 2004. I played the CM at the convention this year and it sounded great, I just did not need another call at that point. If I am not mistaken, David hunts with a double glass, that ought to tell you something.

yeah, i have his slate and it is by far the best one i have used. I am pretty much sold on the double glass at this point though.

it was pretty cool talking to him today. I called and left him a message on his cell and he called me back in like 30mins.

I talked to him a good bit about each call and he ran some over the phone for me, just a cool dude no doubt.

 

[Andy S.]

just a cool dude no doubt.

I agree. He's a top notch guy, very down to earth, real easy to talk to and he makes a great turkey call.

I ran them at the show and when i picked up the crystal mistress i couldnt put it down. I told the salesman i want this one and he said ok let me see if we got any left and i said no i want this one and i left with the one laying on the table. lol

 

[Andy S.]

i left with the one laying on the table

Smart man.

 

[REN]

well i called david back and said "ok, if you could only take 1 call to the woods which one would you choose?" he said "the mistress with the Double glass a close 2nd"

so i went with that, however i told him i like alot of rasp in my calls so he said he would go through a bunch of them and find one with the most rasp to it to send me.

Again, great guy to deal with and talk to!

Sweet, let us know how you like it when you get it and play it.
