Reeded sound-making device

摘要

A reeded game call or other reeded sound-making device. End portions of a sounding board and a reed are wedged in a tubular housing with the reed end portion disposed on surface of the sounding board end portion, and the end portions extend therefrom into a mouthpiece with the sounding board supporting the reed for vibration thereof to make wild game sounds. In order to prevent stickage of the reed to the sounding board due to moisture, the sounding board comprises a pair of wall portions which extend from width-defining margins of an elongate floor portion and which terminate in edges against which the reed vibrates. The sounding board end portion surface is disposed above the sounding board edges so that the reed does not engage the sounding board edges adjacent the sounding board end portion thereby to alleviate sticking of the reed to the sounding board edges due to moisture at this position adjacent the sounding board end portion.
