Cody Introduces Chambered Box Calls!
Sound chambers are widely credited for the sound quality of a slate or glass pot call. Great sound chambers make great calls. But, there has never been a call maker to incorporate the use of a sound chamber when building a box call…
until now.
Bill Zearing, and the team at Cody Turkey Calls, is proud to announce their latest and
greatest innovation to their extensive line of award-winning turkey calls: The Drop Dead Series® “Holei Chambered One Sider.”
Twenty years ago, Zearing perfected his design of a wooden sound board in a wooden pot
call. These friction calls won numerous championships in the ‘90s and are still top sellers today. Around the same time, Zearing came up with the idea to build a sound chamber into a box call. He tried many times, yet was never happy with results. He decided to postpone his idea of a hand-crafted, chambered box call, but the concept never died––it was finally achieved in September of 2011.
Here is the story on how it happened:
Over the last 7 years, Zearing has had much success with his line-up of unbelievably
well-built box calls called: “Holei One Siders.” These unique, one-sided box calls feature
acoustical holes specifically placed in the sidewalls of the box call to help generate remarkable sounds, In addition, the innovative concave lid combined with the stronger vertical-core design of the call’s striking side produces easy, precise and realistic turkey sounds.
“Overall, the inventions of our vertical core, concaved lid and acoustical side-wall holes
make for a one-of-a-kind, highly-technical and complex design,” explained Zearing. “It has been a long journey –– spanning three decades –– but, with the help of these advancements, |

we have finally zeroed in on perfecting the chambered box call. I am very excited about this latest innovation. With the sound chamber –– in combination with the call’s many other components –– we can precisely control rollover, volume, rasp and tone.”
The slim sound chamber is built off the center of the echo side wall, adjacent to the striking side wall. The chamber adds rollover, rasp and a lot of realism in the call. So much realism that Zearing plans on retiring the original double acoustic-hole design––in favor of his new chambered design. Eventually, his Holei Series of box calls will only feature the chambered design.
These new box calls are available in Cherry (pictured) Walnut, Chestnut and Southern Long Leaf Heart Pine.
