RedBone calls are built for sound and the ideas involved with that vary considerably with the rest of the callmaking indutry. The 40 years of hunting, guiding and "tricking out" calls that RedBone came from have turned into a non-mathematical and variant approach to call building.
It became obvious early on that trying to compete with large scale call manufacturing was impossible for RedBone. In fact the desire to manfacture, market and sell calls in the numbers that make the "big boys" so successful were parts of the industry that we wanted nothing to do with - competeing with domestic and overseas mass production is out of the question for RedBone - just can't, won't and ain't gonna do that.
RedBone concentrates on the parts that make the sound - the reed the wedge and the toneboard - the part that makes the noise, thats where we spend the customers money.
Our calls are not a fancy wrapper with cheap insides - Redbones cost more on the inside than they do on the outside. They are not a shiny acrylic barrel and insert with cheap plastic guts
The musical grade brass that we are using in the toneboard is the same alloy that is used in the manufacture of trumpets, saxaphones, tubas, ect.. Musical instrument manufacturers have been using this material for many years for a reason - it has excellent tonal qualities and is dimensionally stable over a wide range of temperature and moisture conditions. And yes indeed, it is expensive.
The sound is our measuring stick - the live sound not the industry sound.
Thats why we put sound files that compare the sound of live birds with RedBone calls on this site - we want you to hear the level of accuracy and realism that our calls are capable of.

In our opinion sounding like a goose is the point - and more particular sounding like a speck or a snow thats engaging in the activities that your decoy spread is showing. That's why the webpage has so many sound files on it. We want you to hear what the calls sound like.
Its not rocket science.
With a call that is built for realism, the proper instructional materials and enough practice that you can sound just like a speck or snow. We are sure of this because because we've seen people who could not do it, learn how to do it.
The instructional material you'll need to get you from starting out to a long ways down the road is part of the purchase price of all Redbone calls. USPS shipping and extra reeds are also part of it.
The sound is in there and you can get it out.
My kids gave me a RedBone acrylic speck call for Christmas, and I thought I'd leave you a little feedback…I live in Arkansas and have had a passion for waterfowl all my life. I'm self-employed, and most every morning is spent chasing waterfowl .Although the majority of my time has been spent pursuing greenheads, I've always had a fascination for specklebellies ...In a normal season, I'd kill maybe a half dozen or so during flybys. Last year I purchased a cheap polycarbonate call and actually called a few specks close enough to shoot. This year we started the season low on water, and decided it was time to get serious about speck hunting. I practiced and practiced with a cheap call with limited success, killing very few birds. I found your site on the net and tried to mimic your sound files, but the majority of the sounds just cannot be reproduced with a cheap call…My kids surprised me with a bourbon acrylic RedBone call for Christmas. I listened to your CD, watched the DVD, practiced for 2 weeks and then added it to my lanyard. The results were amazing. I killed 43 specks the last 3 weeks of the season, including one old black-bellied bird that's at the taxidermist now...I had very little trouble adjusting to your call and have had a blast ...I can remember nothing as exciting as the sight and sound of 25 to 40 specklebellies tu – lu'n 50 feet overhead … Thanks for a great product - Michael B
Redbone Calls are built to sound like birds without any concern at all for how much money, time or effort it takes to build one, thats what RedBone is all about.
Saving money on construction materials and/or installing cheap guts then spending as little on "labor" as possible in order to maximize profit IS NOT what RedBone is about. If that sounds like something you'd like to have get in touch with us - we can hook you up
