Short Reed Goose Calls

Anyone have any suggestions for short reed goose calls? I'm looking at buying a new one and wondered what you guys like. I currently have a Tim Grounds Half Breed and Foiles Meat Grinder. The Half Breed is a pretty high pitched call and the meat grinder is OK. The grinder requires little to no back pressure when blowing. I'm looking for a somewhat high end call that's reasonably easy to blow and requires slight to moderate back pressure.

What's around your neck??

Well, you are looking for a really good call so this wouldn't apply to you, but I will never buy another Knight and Hale call again, I've purchased two now, and have yet to get either to sound remotely close to what I think it should. You might PM me Birdman, they just had the Green Country Hunting and Tackle show and there was a guy there that hand carves calls for around $70 I think.

Marvin,

I second ya on the Knight and Hale's. I've tooted on their Pit Boss and it sounds worse than a drunk practicing hooked on phonics. I couldn't even get it to break over after countless attempts at adjusting the reed. I've heard good things about the $MONEY MAKER$, but at like $140 or more they should sound damn good!!
