OrangeFeet00,

Field and Clay are in Canada at this time. They would be the ones that could answer your question. I like unshaved reeds in my calls. In my opinion, I can get a fuller/deeper sound. Plus I can still get that loud crack for calling geese on windy days. The LM-1 is a great meat call. Go to the link below and when the Zink guys get back from Canada, they will send you a response.

Orangefeet,

The PM-1 is the only Zink goose call that normally would come with an un-shaved reed. The LM-1 should have a shaved reed in it. The job that the guys do in shaving the reed is really nice. At first glance, it may look like an un-shaved reed although it should be shaved. Did you get the call in a trade or buy it used? Perhaps someone changed the reed. If I can be of further assistance, let me know.
