A tubular, adjustable, reed-type game call has axially aligned, adjustable sections. A tubular horn is threadably interconnected with a tubular handle comprising a mouthpiece and an intermediate coupling with an internal sounding chamber. The horn is threadably mated to internal coupling threads, and relative twisting of the horn relative to the mouthpiece causes axial lengthening or shortening of the game call, as the horn is displaced relative to the coupling. A cylindrical anchor supports an elongated reed and a parallel, elongated sounding board. A contactor pressures the reed at a point that is varied when the parts are twisted together or apart, to shorten or lengthen the effective reed length, producing different user selectable sounds. A lock washer is positioned proximate the contactor for securing it.

A whistle-type game call for reproducing sounds made by certain whistling animals, such as ducks or other waterfowl, without manipulating (e.g., rolling, vibrating, fluttering, etc.) the tongue. The whistle may include a sound chamber with one or more protruding ridges to space a free-floating tubular member contained by the sound chamber from an internal surface of the sound chamber. The spacing between the free-floating tube and the internal surface of the sound chamber prevents the free-flowing tubular member from sticking to the internal surface of the sound chamber due to accumulations of water, dirt, saliva, or any other foreign substances. The whistle may also include a hole for a lanyard to more conveniently carry the game call. The game call may be constructed from two halves, one of the halves having a ridge track and the other having a recess receptive of the ridge track to ensure proper alignment of the two halves.
