Hey all.....hoping someone might be able to help me out. I've been using an old Original RNT and an old full scroll Daisy Cutter for quite some time. I gave the Original to my buddy last year after picking up a Zink ATM. I have also added a RNT Mondo since last season. Right now, I'm looking for something a little softer to complement what I already have and can't make up my mind which one to get. I'm considering:
RNT Short Barrel
RNT Microhen
Echo (Not sure which model. I've never owned an Echo, but would like to try one.)
Go with the acrylic Old Style. I have one in acrylic and one in coco, and i prefer the acrylic. It seems to have a little better ring than the coco but still gets just as quiet.
An acrylic NOS was my quiet morning call for a few seasons. Loved how it ran except that I couldn't really jump on it and have the teeth to get a reflex response to pull wary birds back in line. When the Microhen came out, I gave it a shot, and the NOS quickly became just a truck call until I gave it to a SIL who admired it. The Microhen is simply a more versatile call in terms of both volume and tone range.
Fwiw, after retiring The NOS from the field I'd replaced the acrylic toneboard with a hedge one, the sound of which I liked even better. But it was, of course, still just as limited by the 1/4" bore.
