Light rasp Turkey diaphragms

[Warrior4Christ]

Hey everyone! I've been searching for a while with no luck for a turkey diaphragm with light rasp. It seems like most of the diaphragms on the market are to raspy for my taste. The straight cut reads don't have enough rasp though. The closest I've come is the primos hook hunter ( the blue one) if I trim some of the edges back, and ironically the raspy old hen from hs strut.
Any recommendations on a reed with light rasp or a specific cut to look for? Thanks for time!

For a little more context the Phelps sassy split V is a close example of the raspiest I've ever heard a wild hen sound. I'm a firm believer in, if you want to sound like you quarry learn from your quarry. I personally just don't hear hens as raspy as the diaphragms I've used other than the 2 I listed above.

I enjoy the Pinhoti ghost cut diaphragms. They’re easy to sound like a young Jenny

I would say ghost cuts and slit v, problem is most are 2.5 or 3 reed, a friend of mine makes all my calls and I like a two reed and he also uses a lighter stretch.

Most commercial calls are stretched pretty tight so it takes more air and it gets raspy.

Contact Gooserbat game calls, Sam will build you a call any way you choose and would have great advice on selecting a clear sounding call.

You might try a ghost cut from Kluk calls. You can get it in a low, medium or high stretch. The low might get some of the rasp out for you.

Ghost cuts are the sweet spot for me. The blue primos has been my favorite to date. I’d buy a few different ones and see what works for you.
