Has anyone here tried these? They seem to be all the rage in Australia and Great Britain.

I got a bag full of them... I had them at the PPHA picnic last year and only a few got them... here's a good link to read about them and the dude will hook you up at a good price for them... and yes they do work...

went to the other site posted and it's shaped different, but about the same sounds and quite a bit cheaper...

The price of the Tenterfield might be justified.

hey Dale, i was reading in that one website where a fella was making them outta tin plates.....how hard do you think it would be to make one myself just by taking a peek at one of yours??? looks like a piece of sheet metal bent in half with two holes through it. kinda looks like a home-brew call to me.

Don't show him Dale...he's being cheap!

I thought the same thing Woody, but there is supposed to be a learning curve to them. If you don't know how to do it, you can't test the one you make. Just a thought.
