I would like to hear from those of you that have used these stacked framed calls. I really want to start practicing with the mouth calls. I have tried some of my oldest sons mouth calls last year but quickly dismissed them because they wouldnt work right all the time especially after I had them in my mouth for some time. I guess they got too wet not to mention Im sure I didnt know what I was doing and needed more practice. They are not that expensive so I could buy one to add to the collection :D
Are these "stacked frame" type calls hard to use compared to other standard mouth calls ?
 
Well thanks for trying to help. My question is not really directed at the brand but rather the different design of this call. Its not made like the standard mouth call.
I was looking for someone who has had some experience with this particular design that is called "stacked frame" call.
Sorry I wasnt more clear in my question.
Thanks
 
I assume it has different reeds stacked to produce a array of calls with tongue and mouth placement?

Thanks AT Hiker. Im not real sure. One of the main selling points I find on all these calls is how the reeds dont stick together. It also says that they are for the experienced callers. I might need to pass on buying one because Im not an experienced mouth caller.

For practice and a good sounding call, buy a HS Strut Raspy Old Hen for $5.

That style of call might be better for a newbie like me. But I might buy one of these stacked frame type calls just because I want to try one. I figure they are not real popular or someone would have chimed in by now.
 
i don't have any experience with that call..


having said that i usually shy away from anything like this that is new and as "selling points". Mouth calls are VERY simple concept and there are THOUSANDS of tried and true cuts and makers out there, there is a reason there is not a "new" or "innovative" design for a mouth call thats very popular.
 
To answer your question they are harder to use than standard frame calls . Also they are not new Will Primos has made them for years so hardly a new innovation So being new to mouth calls I'd go with a standard frame with one or two reeds

I haven't even heard of them. My Woodhaven mouth call is 3 reed but I have to put tooth picks between the reeds so they don't stick during storage.
 
PRB, mouth calls are all about personal preference and what feels right. Problem is they have gotten so expensive and you have to buy them to try them. I can't tell you how many I've bought and threw in the trash as soon as I got home. Catman mentioned HS Strut and I wouldn't give you a nickel for a dump truck load of them. But they work for him. I love Woodhaven. Pricey, but I know it's going to the woods and not in the trash. You just have to find what works, fits, and feels right to you.

To answer your question, I tried the Primos piggy back stack or whatever they are calling them now. I wasn't impressed either.
 
I have the one you are talking about and threw it away. hated it big time I threw it away. I would suggest for a newbie at it and just getting yelps and cuts down I would pick up a one or two reed call. I would look at a woodhaven, hooks, sometime like that a custom call maker makes imo better calls like a mouth call. they are a little more money but I think they are worth it. I would look like said above a pack or two or three and just start playing around with them. usually out of a pack of three you will find one you like. scot ellis that is mentioned above has a ton of videos on youtube. that's one of the best thing about you tube is you can learn the basics of the mouth call then go from there. that's just me though.
 
The True Triple is about the only mouth call I've used for almost 10 years now. Killed several using that call alone. I usually have to buy a new one every year because the material falls apart after keeping it in all day for several days, seems like they were a bit better made years back.

I did like everyone has suggested and tried dozens and dozens of different mouth calls, for whatever reason I sound more like a hen with the triple frame. The only other mouth calls I carry are some of the Primos double frame calls. I prefer a raspy sound, and the triple frame sounds exactly the way I want a call to sound. I use it in the spring as well as the fall.

Obviously, you don't have to worry about the reeds sticking together. Just do something to clean it every now and then (I soak mine in a little mouth wash overnight); if you don't, after a week or so of using it and it simmering in your vest overnight, it will taste like you picked up a week old road killed possum and bit off a big chunk of raw old possum meat.

I still can't purr very well with one, but I can't purr on any mouth call. I started using the triple frame not long after I learned to use a mouth call. Like you said, it's not that expensive so you have nothing to lose by giving it a try. I've heard other people try it and sound like a choking/dry heaving hyena, but there's only one way to find out.
