Abstract
An animal call which generally includes a housing having a first portion rotatably combined with a second portion. An opening is formed in a wall of the housing between a mouthpiece and an outlet end. A reed is disposed within the opening and is adapted to vibrate in response to passing air. The reed is combined with the first housing portion. A helical member is formed inside the second housing portion. An adjustment member has a helical engagement member that engages the helical member. The adjustment member includes an adjustment arm in frictional engagement with the reed. The helical member acts as an auger to move the adjustment member along the length of the reed as the second housing portion is rotated relative to the first housing portion.
