Do you use certain words for each call sound that you use? I can't seem to get the cut down,it sounds like I'm squeaking between notes?I've been using a voice recorder to hear it and it just doesn't sound the way that I want it to.

Well I'm trying different calls,3-4,split and half moons. I don't know what I'm doing wrong,I'm watching "Talkin'turkey with the pros" right now trying to figure it out.
 
Sorry I can't explain it. I just do it. LOL I know that doesn't help.
I used to use only mouth calls but have switched over to mostly friction pots over the years & have not looked back. I'll use mouth calls mostly as locators or long distance calls.

Lol... I know how it is.

It's funny though,I'm watching cutting right now on this video and even the real turkeys squeak a little,I don't know,I'll get it....Thanks
 
try saying "tut, tut, tut" or "chick, chick, chick" [up] I only know how to cluck with a diaphram call though... so saying tut or chick will give you a cluck sound.
 
I could never get it together with a mouth call and turkeys I have called in Elk with them but birds never pots are the way for me.
 
Just put in your mouth and sound like an idiot till you get it. I know some guys that just cant get it. I live with one in my mouth from now till the end of the season. Keeps the latex pliable and in tune.

Do yourself a favor buy every brand you can afford and every style...singles, doubles, triples, split reeds.... I see a lot of guys just run out and buy a diaphragm and it doesn't fit their mouth well and just give up because they just squeek. Sometimes you need to tweak them a bit just don't slack up the latex.

My problem right now is I got a tooth pulled and now my diaphragm doesn't seal to well.

I love calling birds with a mouth call, change up and hit a slate, then pop in a cutting call and keep them excited.

Practice, practice, practice..........then practice some more.
 
Try trimming the diaphram so it sits farther back on the roof of your mouth. Press it upward with the middle of your tongue.Apply light pressure to the latex part with your tongue. Let out short bursts of air while saying "chirp". Make sure the air is passing between your tongue and the diaphram.

Thanks for the info guys I really appreciate it[up] I've actually been using a mouth call for about 4 years now but I could never get the cutting down to my satisfaction.The only other call that I really have problems with is the purr,I've convinced myself that I will never learn that one and gave up on it.
