Grasp the call with your right hand; cup your left hand
over the sound chamber so that it closes tightly. Take
a deep breath and just as you are about t start blowing,
let go of the sound chamber with your left hand
and blow into the call. You need to create a small and
short overpressure in the call to make the B in the
Baaaaaa sound.
When you have practiced this for a while, you can try
to make a vibrato during your exhalation for a more
faithful sound. The volume is adjusted by how hard
you blow into the call as well as with your left hand in
front of the sound chamber. Practice and listen how
hard it is possible for you to blow before the sound
breaks, and adjust thereafter!
Planning a stand
Open fields:
Call intensively for 15-20 seconds, be quiet for two to
three minutes and keep on calling in this way for 20-
30 minutes each stand.
Smaller fields or forested areas:
Call intensively for 15-20 seconds, be quiet for five to
six minutes and keep on calling in this way for 15-20
minutes each stand.
