Re: Mute metal: brass, copper, aluminum, combo?

I find my copper bottom Tom Crown sounds "better" than the aluminium bottom, and workable for Mozart (way cheaper than wood) but most composers had the aluminium sound in mind when they added con sordino the the score. You might want to consider brass or copper in addition to an aluminium straight.
