Birdcall Pochard and Tufted Duck — Pochard and Tufted Duck Call
This is a compact wind instrument designed to reproduce the calls of two diving duck species: the Pochard and the Tufted Duck. Carved from boxwood, it operates on a simple principle — air pressure and embouchure control produce recognizable vocalizations that attract or communicate with these birds in their natural habitat.
Construction and Sound
The instrument is made from boxwood, a dense hardwood that produces clear, focused tones well-suited to mimicking waterfowl calls. Its small, portable form factor makes it practical for field use, whether for birdwatching, ornithological study, or simply exploring the range of sounds the design permits.
Beyond its primary purpose, the bird call responds to varied breath control and embouchure technique, yielding a range of tones and effects. Experimentation with air speed, mouth position and duration produces sounds beyond the target species — a characteristic that makes the instrument engaging for play and sound exploration.
Traditional French Manufacture
This bird call is handcrafted using traditional methods established in France, where duck-call instruments have long served both practical and recreational purposes. The design reflects generations of refinement in matching acoustic form to biological accuracy.
What's Included
- One boxwood bird call, ready to play
Use and Care
Hold the instrument to your mouth and vary air pressure and embouchure position to produce different calls and tones. The boxwood material is durable and requires no special maintenance beyond keeping it dry and free from prolonged exposure to direct heat or humidity extremes.
Duck calls remain a fixture of ornithological practice and field study across Europe, where they serve both as observation aids and as objects of acoustic and cultural curiosity.
