I just opened a package today with the most beautiful call inside. I can see now that I need a better camera. Thanks Al.

After I worked up the nerve to giver her a try, (never made it out of the kitchen) I started to blow. It only took me two tries to figure it out and produce some wonderful sounds (barks, yips and howls). After I spit my gum out, I got on it and distress sounds came effortlessly (is that a word?).

The call is made of African Blackwood (my favorite) and has a supurb finish inside and out. It is a double reed call with the top reed "dimpled" so the reeds won't stick together.

The brass is polished to a mirror finish. It is hard to tell from the photo, but there are no flaws in the wood OR the brass. The ripples you see in the brass are reflections.

This is good stuff guys. If you're afraid to take one out in the field, buy 2 or buy one, don't tell the wife and tell her you need a THO call for Christmas. If you don't get one now, you'll regret it later for sure.
 
Words can't explain what it's like to actually hold one of THO's calls in your hand. They look too good to take out in the field, but sound too good not to.
I don't have to hound my wife for THO calls. She wants me to buy everyone I show her.
 
Al's calls are definitely something to show off. The fit and finish is flawless. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif
 
Got me a cocabola about a week ago from THO.
It's my first call, and with just a little practice (and watching Randy's video) I was blowin distress' with the best of them(at least that's what I tell myself! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif)
I just hope that I haven't spoiled myself from buying any others! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Naw! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-006.gif
 


WOW! is and understatement I received my Cocobolo open reed the other day and it is unbelievable the workmanship is second to none. I would have to say what impressed me the most was the finish is just as nice on the inside /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif
 
Al, I bought a closed reed last week and just got done buying a open reed today,both in cocabolo.I could not help myself,your calls are a work of art.Ks.Rope
 
Thanks KsRope - Once I get a few more cups of coffee in me, I will take 'er to the post office and ship it out.

Thank you again for the support of my calls /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Guys, you have to get one of his lanyards, too. It is amazing how how they compliment his calls. He just had another one up on his E-Bay store and I snagged it up so you'll just have to keep looking for the next batch of 'em.
 
Heck Jay why stop at one or two, get ya a bakers dozen. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Bunch THO snipers out there these days. I went on to get one of those open reed calls the other day, had the screen up and everything, went to buy and it was already gone? Someone a little faster on the keys I'm a guessing. I haven't even got lucky enough to see the lanyards on there. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif

Keep spinning those nice calls Al! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Be safe,

I thought I would wait a little while and give someone else a chance at this one I looked at it several times today but couldn't take it any more. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Al,

I am sure you've got your hands full, but I would be interested in buy a matched set of all the calls you make if you'd sign them for me. I have some for hunting but I really want to have a set to put in a display. I'd be willing to bet there are some others here who would be interested, too.
 
I recieved my Osage Orange open reed last week. Al sent along a matching Osage Orange lanyard as well. Now I have two of his calls and a lanyard to match. Needless to say, they won't be the end of my THO purchases. I know what you mean about the inside finish. The inside is every bit as nice as the outside.

I was also lucky enough to receive a beautiful cocobolo open reed THO call. Now, I am no expert on custom calls- but it seems to me it he has nailed it!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif I feel very lucky. Thanks again Al! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif MH
