I just got a Maple SR-1 and it is amazing! I'm sure you can get 15 other replies saying this one or that one is better but I am impressed. It sounds so good and the tape was very helpful. It literally has made my calling 100% better in one day. I have used the Big River Flute(very easy to use) and for short reeds the Buck Gardner Canada Hammer, Knight&Hale double clucker and Tim Grounds Half Breed. I like the Half Breed as it brought in alot of birds this week and I thought it was simple to blow compaired to others. I have not blown a Foiles call but I hear they are good too. I guess you'll just have to buy one and try it. My only regret is that I didn't just go out and buy a high end call right at the start. I am going out tomorrow here in OK and can't wait to try the SR-1 in the field.
