I've got this cold that's going around and my ear/nose/throat system has been taking a bit of abuse just with practicing at all. I think it's the back pressure, I tried one of those Silent Brasses in a shop and they're really stuffy.

Can you go to a college practice room or a park and practice there?

I'm prolonging my ear/nose/throat woes myself but keeping up the practice daily, myself. I'm lucky that I can practice here w/o a mute. No one can complain I'm just another source of noise along with the dogs, horses, roosters, donkey, and ravens.
