The Banded Belle is hand made in the Louisiana style. It comes standard with a mylar reed ,but you can get it with a copper or brass reed.As its name implies it is banded at the top of the barrel.right bellow the band is a HAND CARVED duck and cattail scene that puts this call at the top of anybodys  collection. Add a great ducky sound to that and you have a call to be proud to hand down  to the next generation of collectors, to put in the case or take to the next hunt.
