Hey guys, I'm a little in the dark on this, as I've always just used whatever I could beg borrow or steal (not literally) as far as mutes go, but, I've been told that you should "tune" your mute when you get it new. This was supposedly accomplished by shaving the cork, getting the best fit etc.... do you guys know anything about this? I just recently bought a good set of mutes and It's the first time I've had any new ones. I always seemed to inherit mutes before... I have no idea how or from whom....
Lemme know, I'm in the dark on the mute thing.
