Turkey calls are like anything else. The more you pay, the better they usually sound and perform….and some of that performance is how easily you can make a quality yelp. More expensive pot calls seem to have a larger sweet spot and are less forgiving of bad striker angles.
If you have a box, I would suggest moving to a slate/glass/alluminum pot call. You can yelp, cut and purr on one with a little practice.
And always remember…the mouth call is the greatest turkey conservation tool ever invented.

Really like my David Halloran calls. I have a cherry slate and a crystal mistress. I use the slate first thing for some soft tree yelps and clucks and use the crystal as the morning progresses. They seem to really like that crystal pot. I want to say he has a call thats crystal on top and if you flip it you can access the slate sound board for softer stuff.

David Halloran makes some great calls. He's out of tennessee. Lot of good ones similar to his though.

I'd highly recommend getting a really good one first, just so much better. I know they aren't cheap.
Personally though I'd HIGHLY recommend working on that mouth call. I like to practice in the truck on the way to work and what not. Best place and no one can hear you. You can download some tips online and listen to them, I used to have a CD...lol.
Its hands free.
Box calls and slates are great until you get the bird coming and don't want to move. That's where a mouth call is unbeatable, just no movement to use.
