music matters is an unknown quantity at this point
Hi Wilmer,

I have a Tom Crown copper bottom and I am performing Copland's Quiet City. I had been wondering what mute would sound best with this piece. I really like my Tom Crown for most applications in an Orchestra/Wind Band where it cuts through the ensemble well, but I am not as happy with it for the end of Quiet City. I was thinking of putting a Crown Royal bag over the mute to soften it! - but would you recommend the Sotto Voce straight mute for this piece?

Best regards,

Graham.
