RNT Daisy Cutter is my favorite, and with the right tuning, it's a great do-it-all call. Can make it relatively easy to run if you play with trimming the reeds. It's been a while since I've tinkered with them but I believe shorter reed and bigger "dog ears" makes it easier to run.
I'm far from an experienced caller but I learned on a Daisy Cutter and a Microhen

Side Note: got bored one day and started playing around with them.....a Microhen Barrel with a Daisy Cutter insert in it sounds freakin' awesome!

If He is already a decent caller, you need to get him in a sporting goods store where he can blow a large selection of them. Mack's PW is the best for this. Everybody likes different calls, even good callers.
Absolutely get him a single reed. Easy to blow, isn't really a thing in my mind, when talking about single reed j-frames. You simply tune the call to your style, and if its a quality call, then you will be able to make it sound good. Get a call that he likes, buy him a pack of reeds and corks, and let him go at it. He will figure it out. Ex. I hate a call that can't handle air pressure. So, take something like a Echo timber or a microhen, with a bit longer reed, and I'll do nothing but squeal on it, unless I change my air presentation.
Purse your lips like you are blowing through a straw, use your gullet to control the tone.
An echo xlt comp meat is one of my favorites

Echo XLT is fairly easy to blow and sounds great in the timber. ^^^^^this. Also good in a flooded field. Look for Keith Allen CD on duck calling. Best CD ever made to learn the right way to blow a call. Hey 45, you heading to AR this weekend? Dr. B

Any of the timber calls are going to have a small bore diameter and be easier to blow.
I like Echo Timber... just the step up to a good wood one like this is cheaper and way better than a cheap plastic call. I guess about $90 vs. $120+ for an acrylic.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.
