Re: Ingrid's choice of harmon mute

I would have to agree with Ingrid-I prefer an old school harman brand mute. They may not be as in tune as the bubble mutes, but they have the classic '50s Miles tone more than other brands. This applies to the older ones-the new harmon brand mutes that I have tried sound different. It seems they have changed the design enough to alter the sound. This is just my opinion-no right or wrong choice :)
