Here is what one collector had to say about his Mastin call....and Gerry Mastins Decoy carving skills! Dear Dave: Just a few lines to let you know that the Gerry Mastin Goose call is a work of art. There is no doubt that the man was a master craftsman. As you may know I am a proud owner of one of the very few Canada geese he carved. In my opinion as a decoy collector of 30 years these geese decoys have to rank with the best ever carved. I have heard over the years that he also carved duck decoys. If he carved them like the geese then they have to be outstanding too!......William P. Mori, Sonoma, Ca. Dave, Thanks for the message, in my earliest hunting memories I remember  my father calling geese with one of these fiddles. I would like to purchase a second one if possible. Please let me know. Thank you, Bernie Altishin, Corvallis, OR ; Dave- I bought one of your goosefiddles over the summer and have been using it a bunch. It works great on Brant and I'm damn glad I stumbled upon it on e-bay. Thanks and take care, Dave Sikorski, Morgantown, WV. These calls have been in storage for many years, but now the entire collection is available. We urge all serious collectors to respond as soon as possible, as numbers are limited. We believe this to be the only BRANT call available in the United States. We suggest that these calls be kept in a plastic zipper bag  to insure that they stay dry when in use in the field.
