ABSTRACT:
An animal calling device is disclosed having a main body portion with a cylindrical sound chamber end and a mouthpiece end generally continuous with the sound chamber. A groove formed in the mouthpiece is continuous with a bore formed in the sound chamber and a vibratable reed covers the groove and is secured at the interface of the mouthpiece and chamber. A plug, cap or integral wall closure is disposed in, over or in conjunction with the bore, respectively, to substantially close the bore but allow restricted airflow therethrough, thereby lowering the tone of the present device without having to cup the hands or fingers around the bore. The reed in one embodiment is seated on a sloping bridge portion to reduce the effort needed in blowing through the call while maintaining the low tone produced.
