There are various types of mouth calls available on the market today. Each call produces its unique sound, so it’s up to you to choose one that suits your needs and preferences. Before purchasing one, do some research online or ask experts in outdoor stores about their recommendations.

Learning how to use a new piece of equipment can be daunting at first but like anything else; practice makes perfect. Start by inserting the diaphragm call into your mouth between your tongue and roof of your mouth and securing it in place by clamping down gently with both lips – don’t bite too hard! Then try exhaling air through it while making different pitch noises until you find a range that works best for you.
