i think the acrylic sounds more crisp and has less vibration. I just started blowing some higher end calls over the past few years and i really like them. I blow a cadence single reed and buck gardner short barrel double reed acrylic duck but got really good deals on both. I did pay for the redbone and kind of regret it since blowing a riceland. Riceland may have the easiest blowing best sounding speck call out right now imo.
I blew a dr85 for 20 years prior. They are hard to beat for the price and i would recommend that call to anyone just starting.
how much did you pay for that cadence call? I've heard great things about them also.
