What kind of call is it? Some call's are intended to be that way, i.e. a Rnt Daisy Cutter is suppose to be a nasty raspy call. When the reed is long, the call will be slightly harder to blow and have a little more rasp. If you trim the reed just a tad, like less than a 1/64th of a inch, it will make the call a slight higher pitch and make it a little easier to blow. But be carefull, trim just a hair at a time and blow a little hunting routine untill you find what your looking for.

 

It's a winglock, thanks for the help I might try trimming a little of the end, but we will see, I have the double and it sounds good but I wanted to try a single out, I thought it had to do with more of my style than the call itself.

 

Best thing to do is give Ol Ricko a call and ask him. If he will send you reeds you can fix this issue like stated above. I would ask how dog eared is the reed? If it is really dog eared this will give you a more raspy sound. A simple cork change can do wonders not the normal culprit but might as well get a fresh reed/cork set up to find the sound your after. Worse case send it in and have the call maker tune it to your liking.

 

The reed isn't dog eared at all, its a new call so i doubt it is the reed and cork combo. Thanks for the help guys I appreciate it.

 

if your grunting heavy into your calling it could be a factor as well versus clean air presentation.
