Assembling your Call "Purr"fect Turkey Call is something that you can
do rather quickly, as demonstrated by the following steps:
|
|
1. Place the Assembly Jig on a flat surface.
|
2. Remove all of the clamps and the stretcher
pin.
|
|
|
3. Install the diaphragm material into the
jig with the largest width reed on the bottom. Add more pieces
of the precut diaphragm material - each one a smaller width.
A single, double, triple, or quad reed caller can be made with
this jig. NOTE: Push smaller reeds forward in the jig.
|
4. Install the left side clamp and tighten securely.
5. Install the right side clamp and tighten securely.
|
|
|
6. Install the stretcher pin and tighten securely, forcing the diaphragm material downward.
|
7. Install the aluminum caller frame into
the slot with the tab down, slipping it under the stretched
diaphragm material (push the frame forward into the slot as
far as possible).
|
|
|
8. Bend the frame flush by pressing down and forward.
|
9. Using the striker pin and a small hammer,
tap downward on the bend line. This is to insure that the frame
is closed tightly.
|
|
|
To apply back tension follow steps 9A and 9B:
9A: Use your nail to put one deep dimple in the frame as close
to the bend in the frame as possible while still hitting all
the reeds.
9B: Insert your tweezers into the machined slot, pull the desired
tension and push a pin through the reeds into the drilled hole.
Repeat on the opposite side.
Note: Only a small amount of back tension is needed.
You are now ready to proceed to Step 10. |
 |
10. Use the included nail to make four to
six dimples on the aluminum frame around the horseshoe arc.
|
 |
 |
11. Fold tab over and use the striker and
your hammer to close the frame tightly.
|
12. Remove from jig and trim excess diaphragm
material with your scissors.
|
