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.

If you think a speck call from 25 years ago sounds like a riceland or redbone, your smokin some good dope. But I do agree they don't cost that much to make. Sure you can buy a lathe and spin calls but do you know how to build troughs for speck calls? I highly doubt it. Does your truck you drive cost as much to manufacture as you paid for it? Your not always paying for the manufacturing costs, your paying for the idea.
