It is a fact that it is harder to go from a double to a single. So if you ever plan on using a single it is best to start on one. Thats why I suggested the J Frame or the RNT Original would be the same thing only more expensive.

I can go from double to single, no problem. Can't tell the difference.
Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, "If I live, I will kill you. If I die, you are forgiven." Such is the rule of honor.

Do you sound good on the double to begin with?

There is a difference for me but its not rocket science. Kinda like saying you can't blow a speck call if you learn to blow a duck call first.

Nope. Just enough to kill mallards occasionally, which isn't saying much. I'm no competition caller.

There is a difference between the two. Air presentation and amount of voice are two big ones. Not saying that you cannot switch calls and change methods subconsciously it is just that it isn’t easy for a beginner.

I'm high bidder right now.

Actually my main call is a basin waterfowl - moderatly priced, and I don't honestly even call much. I just need a place to display my bands. Most people I see that claim to be "duck whisperers" do more damage than good, if they want to be there - they will come into range.

Lol, some want to sound better than the ducks for some reason. I don't always call ducks, but when I do, I use a rolling refuge feed.

I'm so good I bring em in to Walmart parking lot. (Sarcasm)

I agree tripod. You should hear the refuge on a Saturday around here. A duck flys over and he's greeted with 50 different hail calls, it's awsome.
