Watched a ton of videos and was getting it. This video and the pitch breakdown made something click in my head and finally starting to get somewhere. Thanks!

You are welcome! Do you have a Greenhorn by chance? That also DRASTICALLY simplifies the learning process! Check it out here: rjdunkin.com/product/struttn-ridge-single-reed-turkey-mouth-call/

I'm amazed that not one person has commented on this video. This is excellent

I purchased the beginners series and trying to use the Greenhorn , how do you tell if the tab is down when positioning in your mouth?

Finally I sound like a turkey and not a velociraptor!

Question for you, How well does this type call work if you have dentures? and are there non-latex options? BTW thanks for an easy to understand video for us noobs...

@STRUTTN360

Alex, thanks for the question! I will admit I am unsure how they work with dentures, but I would think as long as they are secure and you can create an air tight seal between the roof of your mouth and the call it would work. We do not have non-latex versions.

I haven’t cut it at all but there’s air getting around so should I cut it a little to try to fit it to my mouth

@STRUTTN360

Yes, you should trim it a bit to make it fit without air getting over the call.

You made a great video I guess I’m just doing something wrong. I can’t even make a sound with my call

UTUBE might be right are you getting a cracking noise when you blow air? Also do you have our single reed greenhorn? The single reed is critical starting out because it takes very little air pressure making it very easy to produce a sound and then work on your high and low note. rjdunkin.com/product/struttn-ridge-single-reed-turkey-mouth-call/

Yup, when you can’t move and they are in tight the mouth call is the ticket!

So I got a couple of these and all I'm doing is gagging. If you're supposed to use your tongue to press the call up against the rear roof of your mouth, how is air supposed to get through and over your tongue? Thanks.

@STRUTTN360

You may need to slightly trim the tape on the call if you are gagging. The air should flow under the call and over your tongue. The front of the call frame should sit roughly where your molars start in your mouth. The gagging is sometimes resolved by trimming the tape, just do it incrementally and keep trying. Let us know how else we can help!

If you have a strong seal of the call to the roof of your mouth then you will be able to force air between the call and your tongue. You can practice what this feels like without a call in your mouth. Put the tip of your tongue behind your bottom front teeth, press the middle of your tongue up to the roof of your mouth and huff air from your diaphragm (like you are hissing like a cat) through your mouth. Once you have that feel down then you can put the call in and try

@@STRUTTN360 thank you! That was the magic instruction! None of the many online hunters in KZread who have put out videos on how to use a mouth call have explained that it is literally the force of the air that is forcing its way over the tongue and across the call-- where things are sealed up preventing a natural exhale until that huff of air. Now I need to just learn to sculpt the sound now that I'm activating the reed!

You likely are not getting a proper seal of the tape against the roof of your mouth. If it continues, you may need to SLOWLY trim the tape for a better fit.

So I can yelp...kinda decent. However I'm having a lot of trouble not blowing and huffing using my diaphragm

You might need to over exaggerate it for a while until you get a feel for it. You can also just think about trying to fog a mirror, that will force you to use your diaphragm. You diaphragm is a muscle, so you have to exercise it and the more you use it the more control you will get

Tongue pressure controls the pitch on how high or low the note is. The more pressure the higher pitch. So the Yelp is high pressure (high note) to reduced pressure (lower note) then you just need to work on controlling it. I will slightly accelerate the air when I reduce my tongue pressure, but I think that is something to play with a little further down the road

What do u mean when u say drop your tongue

@STRUTTN360

Reduce the amount of pressure on the Reed of the call. Some will drop their tongue. Others will drop their jaw to get the lower pitch sound

No idea have been trying for so long I still can’t find a video that helps just going to throw them away again
