Triple Reed Calls?

[fieldt76]

I was just on Hobo's website and noticed a new call they have called the "Tracer". It's a triple reed call and Kent says it's supposed to sound like a young duck. I didn't even know that triple reeds existed. Anyone have any experience with these? It sure sounds good when Kent is operating it, but he can make anything sound good. Check out the video on the Hobo website.

Not sure why you would want 2 reeds, more less 3.

Whats the deal with the 3 reeds? I understand the single and double reeds, but 3? Whats the benifit of this

It's just a slightly different sound. That's all.

Kent is trying something different to market. That's all.

Only one reed vibrating against the tone board makes the "sound" the other one (or two) are just baffles to limit the range and keep from "over blowing" the call. I agree its marketing. I saw the guy from Lohman do a demo once with 4 reeds in the call, and he would pull them out one by one and the range got better each time. It was pretty cool, in a obvious kinda way.
