Publication number: 20170280704Abstract: An adjustable tone game call apparatus has a housing with an internal air passage through which air may be blown. A reed is positioned in the housing along the passage and is configured to vibrate and generate sound upon passage of air through the air passage. An adjustment member on the housing rotates or translates to vary pressure applied to the reed, thereby adjusting the tone or pitch produced by the reed due to the pressure changing the effective length of a diaphragm of the reed. Thus, by using the adjustable tone game call, a hunter may produce a variety of pitches and tones to mimic various types of game animals and predators.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2016Publication date: October 5, 2017Applicant: Primos, Inc.Inventor: Anthony A.
