I favor Haydel's MP-90 and get the trill by using my soft pallet as if starting to gargle. Also does a greenhead dweeb as well, for practical purpose, as Robertson's "green dynamite" if you cup your hand over it.

I'm somewhat unimpressed with the drake whistle's effectiveness, lately. Every now and then it seems to help, but not always. The High Roller is great for keeping the pintails working, but it drives me nuts because half the time I start blowing the roller sticks and I have to blow it backwards to free it up.

Took me awhile to get confidence using my short barrel to. Sounds amazing when you get really good at calling with it though
Maurilio #9 is the only roller whistle that hasn't stuck on me. It is a great pintail whistle but it is quieter/softer than a Maurilio #8 and all the other roller type whistles. It will not make the wigeon, teal or drake mallard sounds very good. About the only whistle I haven't had is the Billy G whistle that some of the California guys are nuts about.banknote wrote: The High Roller is great for keeping the pintails working, but it drives me nuts because half the time I start blowing the roller sticks and I have to blow it backwards to free it up.

IMO, if you can flutter your tongue to get the pintail sound, the Haydel and similar are the best all around whistles.

For me it's taken a bit of reed tweaking, too. My duck-whisperer hunting partner who's been calling for 40+ years likes it a little looser than I can really handle, but when I get it right and don't try to blow too loud, I can actually turn a few ducks with it... toward me, not away. Usually. Sometimes.
