wow Wilmer - I feel much less obsessive after reading your list....

4 straights - aluminum Wick, crown and Vacchiano and a mystery mute that appears to be a handmade papier-maché straight only identified by a stamp on the side that says "by S. Florio" - sound somewhere between a cup and a straight (used it on the Artunian on a recital once)

3 cups - HB regular, Mic-A-Mute, and wick

5 harmons - jo-ral copper(x2), jo-ral aluminum, harmon brand copper, and a shew soloist

2 buckets - HB and a jo-ral

1 pixie

2 rubber plungers - large and small

2 silent brass practice mutes (Bb and piccolo)

I think that's it - here's two questions for you: how do you store/transport your mutes? if you go on a call and don't know a lot of details about what you're playing, how much of your aresenal (mutes AND horns) do you bring to the gig?

(edited to include the papier-maché mute that I found in my office)
