if you've been following along with the land of the free project produced by
born and raised outdoors you've seen the crew using their own Signature Series
line of diaphragm reads but what is the difference between each read what sounds
can you produce with them and what type of caller is each one designed for in
this video we're going to review each of those reads and we're gonna answer those
questions right here right now
so the born and raised outdoor crew just finished up their successful land of the
free project throughout that project they were using their own Signature
Series diaphragm reads each of these reads are produced by Phelps game calls
on the amp frame line up what the amp frame is is it is a narrow frame with a
domed Reed now what this dome does is basically it
acts as a positioner so when you put that diaphragm in the roof of your mouth
this dome sets it at the right angle so now all you have to do is lay your
tongue flat across the diaphragm control the air to give the notes that you want
within the line up there are three Reed's there is the yellow committed the
black tagged out and then the blue reason all three diaphragms are single
latex reads which means there's only one layer of latex they each do have
different characteristics different thicknesses of latex and different
stretches what we're going to do is we're going to go through each one we're
going to talk about them we're gonna produce a few cow sounds we're gonna do
a bugler to so you can hear what each Reed sounds like we're gonna start at
the lowest end which is the reason now what I mean by the lowest end is that
means that the reason has the lightest thinnest latex lightest stretch this is
a great read for beginners and intermediates to use now that's not to
say that advanced callers can't use the reason it's just geared more towards
that beginner intermediate type so as we've done in our past reviews I'm gonna
go ahead and step away from the camera a little bit produce a few cow sounds do a
bugle or two so that way you can hear the sounds that are produced so first up
is the reason from the born and raised outdoors Signature Series line
so there's an example of the sounds that you can get from the reason like I said
it is a light latex light stretch which means it doesn't take very much tongue
pressure or very much air pressure to make the notes change and really gives a
beginner that good confidence because you can jump right into a read produce
sounds and learn how to control those sounds really really quickly now since
it is a light read the cow sounds are a little higher pitch and the bugle is a
little higher pitch which basically represents a younger cow and a younger
bull but it does produce that really really high note that carries a really
really well when you're trying to locate okay next up in the lineup is the tag
down which is the black tape with the yellow latex now I did notice this one
is a little bit heavier than the reason but even though it's a little bit
heavier I would still recommend this read for beginners since it is a little
heavier intermediate callers will have success with this and advanced callers
will find great success with this read as well we're going to go ahead and step
off we're going to do a couple of cow sounds a bugler two so you can hear what
this read will produce so this is the tagged out from the born and raised
outdoors Signature Series
so there's an example of some of the sounds from the tagged out now the thing
I found on this one is this call is very very responsive which again means not
much tongue pressure not much air pressure to go through the notes but
since it is a little bit heavier it does give you a little bit more control for
holding those notes the cow sounds are a little deeper toned which now were
starts representing an older cow and in your bugles an older bull this is an
excellent all-around read that like I said will benefit beginners all the way
up to advanced callers and be able to do all the full range of sounds that you
would want finally at the top of the lineup is the committed the thing I
found with the committed is this one is a heavier latex heavier stretch which
basically means more tongue pressure more air pressure this wouldn't be a
very good call for beginners but intermediate to advanced callers will
find great success in using this call again we're going to go ahead and step
off we're going to do the cow sounds and the bull sounds you can hear what the
committed from the born and raised outdoor Signature Series sounds like
so there's an example that sounds that you can produce with the committed as I
mentioned it is a heavier latex heavier stretch diaphragm Reed which means it's
going to take more tongue pressure more air pressure to operate but it also has
more backbone than the other two reeds which means when you get into that
situation where you really really want to challenge that herd bull the comitted
is gonna stand up to that extra pressure also if you're a heavy tongue user or a
heavy tongue type collar the comitted is gonna be the read for
you you're gonna be able to produce all the cow-calf sounds and all the bugles
tones that you want to now the thing with the committed being heavier is
right out of the package you're probably not going to produce those perfect note
changes and hold those notes perfectly but as you play around and call with the
read that latex is going to loosen up and give you the control that you're
looking for all in all the diaphragm reads from the born and raised outdoor
Signature Series line didn't disappoint all three Reed's give you the ability to
produce exceptional cow calf sounds and right into the full gambit bugles down
below in the description I've included a link over to the born and raised
outdoors store where you can buy e to these Reed's individually or in a three
pack if you're still unsure of the type of Reed that you're looking for the type
of collar that you are I recommend getting the three pack and playing with
all three after you've played with all three for a little bit you you'll be
able to narrow it down onto which Reed really fits your style the best and then
you can go back and get the individual one that works for you as always guys we
appreciate you watching our video we appreciate your support we would love
to hear down below in the comment section what you think of our reviews
also if there's anything you would like to see differently or see us do
differently in the reviews and also if there's another call out there that you
would like to see us review comment down below and let us know we'll reach out to
the manufacturer and get that taken care of alright guys hope you've enjoyed this
video thank you for watching
