Tone Trough Elk Diaphragm Calls

If you have trouble using diaphragm elk calls, try the new cow and bull calls designed by legendary call maker Wayne Carlton. “The Tone Trough is the easiest elk call to blow, and it produces the best sounds I’ve ever heard,” says Carlton. The secret is the built-in sound chamber, which requires less pressure to make realistic sounds. And by not engaging the roof of the mouth, the call reduces gagging, a problem for many beginners.
