  • Patent number: 6039627
    Abstract: A game call having a reed disposed inside of a longitudinal tube wherein the reed is manipulatable by a caller's finger. The caller's finger is in one embodiment depressed through and movable along an opening in the tube. The caller's finger is separated by either an inelastic member disposed on the exterior of the tube or an elastic member disposed within the tube. Or in another embodiment, the reed is encircled by a flexible tube of 360 degrees and the caller's fingers are capable of approaching the reed from any direction. In one embodiment, the caller's fingers are permitted to approach the reed in only a limited fashion through a series of relatively small finger-sized orifices disposed over predetermined points along the reed. In yet another embodiment, the caller's fingers are permitted to actually touch the reed without any flexible tube member or skin disposed between the caller's finger and the reed.
