1. A harmonica-style goose call, comprising:

  • a body comprising a first housing and a second housing, the body having a first end, a second end, and a length between the first end and the second end, each of the first and second housings having an exterior surface and an interior surface;

    a first supporting and clamping member at the first end of the body, and a second supporting and clamping member at the second end of the body;

    a profile on a portion of each of the interior surface of the first housing and the interior surface of the second housing between the first supporting and clamping member and the second supporting and clamping member, the body being assembled such that the interior surface of the first housing is adjacent to the interior surface of the second housing,the profile of the first housing and the profile of the second housing collectively defining a blow space having a first end toward the first end of the body, a second end toward the second end of the body, and a height between the profile of the first housing and the profile of the second housing, wherein at least the profile of the first housing comprises an undulating profile such that the height of the blow space is continuous and variable between the first end and the second end of the blow space and such that the blow space has a centrally located height reduction; and

    a flexible diaphragm positioned within the blow space and stretched between the respective first supporting and clamping members and respective second supporting and clamping members,the undulating profile approaching the flexible diaphragm at the centrally located height reduction of the height of the blow space such that a user, assuming a blow position and blowing through the blow space, causes the diaphragm to vibrate and emit a tone, the varying height of the blow space permitting the user to alter the pitch of the tone by selectively altering the blow position to imitate a goose call.
