LOL, I'd love to hear those howls you're getting out of those turkey diaphragms! Maybe you can meet up sometime and give me a demonstration...
Ive been using single reed turkey calls for coyotes since about 1986 myself. Doubles for a courser/deeper sound.
They make super distress/whimpers/whines/howls/barks/rabbit & the rest of the spectrum of sounds coyotes like. Nothing like a diaphragm & open reed call in tandum use. Now if you can keep the breath up!
Call em' by whatever name you want to, turkey, predator, elk, but some are definitely voiced & suited better for different animal sounds. Here's the deal...if you're getting good, smooth howls out of a diaphragm than it's gonna sound like crap as a turkey call, unless you're doing a keekee run. A call that will do good turkey vocals with two-toned yelps & raspy cutts WILL NOT HOWL WORTH A DANG,PERIOD!!!! To get those two-toned yelps & raspy cutts you need a diaphragm with cuts in the reeds, to get good howls you don't need the cuts. I bet money those old single reed turkey calls don't have cut reeds & I don't doubt that they will howl just fine, but I'd also bet that they sound like crap when it comes to turkey vocals. You can call them turkey calls if you want to but they'd be better labeled as predator calls or howlers. Some people just don't know the difference between good & bad animal vocals so they lump them all together. Point is, saying that you can get good howls & turkey vocals out of the same call tells anybody that knows anything at all about diaphragms that you either have bad turkey vocals, bad howls, or worse yet both!!
