Nice looking calls. I haven't made a call in several years now, but when I first moved up to TN I did make a number of them... mine were all wood... and I used the plastic reeds sold by HUT Products. I'm no duck hunter and really didn't know if they sounded right or not, but had a couple of buyers that said they did.... but also had a couple of complaints that they weren't signed.... I didn't put a band on them. They sold pretty well, don't know why haven't made any more... just too many things to make and not enough time to make them all.
