A custom is anything out of the norm. I believe you can even customize with what is available from suppliers of call parts. Saw one here while back. A fellow took what was available in acrylic or plastic clear barrels and with the assemblage of diferent peices turned that factory duck call into one of the nicest ajustable reeds I have heard.
One of our newer members took a goose call and customized it too make himself a pretty fair little howler.
Even the burnham bros long range fox call was a custom! They tuned the double reed in that puppy by hand before assemblage. Every last one of them.Sure they used a js products reed but it aint the same way they got it like a lot of others.
Once Rich Cronk gets done with a tallyho is it still a factory call or a custom? Is it better or the same as it was?
When you took that sceery,Kand H or whatever apart and shaved or bladed the reed to create a diferent sound did you not customize it to suit yourself? Jimmie
