I had a canada hammer and it was a decent short reed in my opinion. It is a hard transition to go from a flute to a short reed but just keep practicing. If you feel that your call isn't tuned right, make sure you mark where the reeds touch the other parts of the guts with a pen or fine point sharpie or something. Once you start messing with the inserts and everything it's hard to get it back to the original position.

Your guts might not be broken in yet. Or you could be blowing too hard, short reeds take very little air. Make sure you aren't pushing out your cheeks, blow from your diapghram. I don't have any experience with that particular call, but these tips should get ya up an running!

everyone here makes great points. Something I have notived is that most people "including myself" blow a short reed call way to hard. I used to blow a Big River flute. Now I exclusively use Bill Saunders calls. There WAY easier to blow then a flute in my opinion. You will figure it out. just takes a little practice!
