I was so upset when I bought my first high end call years ago. It was the original RnT daisy cutter, and I hated it. It wasn't until after that season that I really started practicing with it and got used to the single reed, and now I love it. Now I run that same daisy cutter, paired with the daisy slayer, both singles. I'm biased to the RNT's, but the Alpha 2 is hard to beat for a nice double reed. My little brother has one and if I had to blow a DR that would be it, no doubt (acrylic). A close second for a high end DR is the Zink ATM. Got a buddy that won a wood (cocobolo maybe?) at a Delta banquet last year, and it is hella ducky, but costs a bit more than the RNT. But for about 50 bucks you can get the echo poly/wood timber DR that's really nice. I have one and loved it for the price, but the poly insert got cracked eventually. What calls have you been blowing?

I'm biased towards the RNTs as well, I have the daisy cutter also and I found it very easy to blow. And I can get just as soft with it as any of my old double reeds
