Bucket mute for large bell monettes

Jimi Michiel · 07-12-2007, 05:59 PM

My main B-flat right now is a Monette B997. It's the most fun B-flat I've ever played, but there's one problem: the bell is too big for my (red and white) bucket mute. Does anybody know if H & B makes a larger one? The JoRal buckets just don't have that "red and white" sound...

Thanks,
Jimi

Hi,

H&B make a larger size bucket to fit those big Connstellation bells so maybe that will work better for your Monette.

Cheers,

Brian

I just had Kevin make me a custom EaZy bucket mute for my Prana 3. You can go to his website at www.eazybucket.com. They're a bit pricy, but they have an incredibly good sound. You'll have to e-mail him and let him know that it's for a Monette bell. He had to do mine several times because it was the first time he made one for that size bell. You won't be dissapointed.

But, one last thing - he seems like a busy guy, so you may want to ask him how long it's going to take if you're in a hurry.

The Jo Ral bucket doesn't clip on, it goes in like any other mute.

Walt Johnson makes a bucket mute that goes in the end of the bell, Charley Davis did, but I don't know if you can still get them. There are several brands that do that instead of clipping on the outside.

not sure what brand this is, but it looks like the jo-ral mutes. whatever it is i think sounds sweet.

I'm using the Jo-Ral on my 993 and put extra felt in it. With a Flumpet cup and the mute it's really a GREAT sound.

The Jo Ral bucket is the way to go if you have a large bell. The clips on the "red & white" bucket can really mess up a large bell with gold plating.

EZBucket for sure. They have the best sound, they're lightweight, easy clip-on design.

Be sure to try their bucket mute for piccolo trumpet.

Kevin Seeley now carries Walt's mutes (and single trumpet cases!!)
