Got 2 distress closed reed calls from someone that was suggested on here and other places more than once. Have used them for the last 3 months or so, but in the last 2 outings I had the exact same thing happen to them and I can't figure out why it happened.
They are both distress calls, closed reed in wood. I'd blow into them as usual and they would produce that raspy rabbit distress. Made the same 'range' of sounds every time, no issue. Took it out again and it was barely a squeal (and definitely not the usual raspier cry) and every 3-4 blows into it, I'd blow air right through it and nothing but air would come out. Was getting super annoyed with it.
Went out last night, same thing.
I got home and shined a light in it, looks normal. No obstruction, nothing looked to be 'unraveled', moved, or out of place.
Any ideas?
