That's a huge leap to say they sound better so justifiably should be more expensive. Call makers can get top dollar because that's what the market, ie; duck hunters will purchase. Calls don't sound a bit different now than 25 years ago. TV has created the gotta have it mentality in All of Us and that's why they charge a hundred times what it cost to manufacture. Akrylic isn't expensive, the cnc machine can be but I can setup a lathe in my garage with a bar feed and run 24 hrs a day producing calls. The Two RNT calls I own probably only cost at most $10 each to manufacture and sold for $150.00 (disclaimer; they were presents). Marketing is why leisure products are expensive not quality or space age technology.
