Is in the works at this time. My prototype was made from a cow buffalo horn, and I am in process of fine tuning the tone board right now. Once all flat spots and pitch breaks are tuned out of the tone board, this howler will be sent off for reproduction. This will be a seamless howler with mouthpiece carved directly into the horn. This howler will feature a reed system that allows quick reed change when needed. The Cronk name will be carved into side of the prototype with a dremel tool. The new howler will be 8" in length and large end of the horn will measure 2" in diameter. Just large enough to get the job done, yet small enough to easily carry around all day.

Good idea Rich. This call will be a big seller. Be sure to make enough.

Rich,i believe you will do well,selling the molded howlers.I can tell by looking at the tone board,over at PM,thats going to be an easy call to blow,and a nice sounding howler.
Latert on,i will be coming out with a couple "molded" predator calls.I will stay away from the howlers market and leave that one to you. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

J_hun,
Mine is a bit different than yours. Not saying it calls coyotes better, just a bit different. I will send you one when they are ready.
Guys,
If you don't have one of Jerry's "Wiley one" howlers yet, your call box is one tool short.

Rich,the first will be a bobcat call,unlike any other on the market.The proto type is made,just a few touching ups to do.In the hands of an experienced caller,you can easily do bobcat in heat meows,cats fighting,and many other distress sounds.Coyote pups howling is a cinch on this call.I can't show a picture because of possible patenting reasons.When this call comes out,it will be offered to my friends here at huntmasters at a special price.I'm in no hurry,so this call shouldn't be out,no earlier than the first of july.
Rich,would you email your address to me? I got something for you to try.It's nothing special,i know you never got one.

Hawkeye,
Loren Reese? Never heard of him. Just pulling your leg Hawk, LOL Gotcha! I have seen photos of howlers that were molded by Loren. They look very good. I have a howler here that was molded by Loren. Looks and sounds very good too. Guess who is gonna mold mine? You guessed it. The guy from Alaska of course. ![[Cool]](cool.gif)

Don't worry Leonard, I got it alright. I was hoping that Higgy missed it. No such luck. BTW, I still have that owl call around here somewhere I think.
