Nothing like blowing a locked up/froze hail call across the marsh at light+30 to make you feel like a jackass.

Place the reed in all the way. Pull out just a hair, hold it down firmly and slide the cork back in. This will lengthen the reed, it'll make it a little harder to blow but much less likely to air lock. I have a longer than normal reed in most of my calls.

I kinda understand how the tuning works but I just wanted to make sure what I had to do to reduce the likelihood of air lock. I do put quite a bit of voice into my call. I learned that on the double reed. What I am figuring out now is that you can change the way a call sound by either having the tone board at the top of the barrel or at the bottom of the barrel. I can get some good high pitched squeals out of my DC if I put the insert to the top and blow the air into the bottom of the barrel. And the opposite if the insert is at the bottom. I get the good deep raspy quacks of a boss hen. It's amazing all the noises you can get out if one single reed call.

It's not so much about where the insert is in the barrel as much as air presentation. All you have to do to get the "cajun squeal" is pinch your lips down at the end of each note. Esentially what you are doing is using the air to push the reed up off the toneboard. It causes the reed to kinda lock and that results in the squeal. Just pinch lips down to the position that you would have them if you were drinking from a straw, that usually is all it takes.

What if I've never heard a duck do a cajun squeal before?
