Pixie mute

nordlandstrompet · 10-21-2009, 02:14 PM

Ok, so I bought this Pixie mute, (yes, my very first) for which I would like to have
some advice about how far in the bell it should be allowed to go.

I have already shaved off the corks appr. 2mm (0,08")

The pic shows the mute position after the shaving.

Nords is shaving his mutes...

. I suggest that you start by getting a haircut for your trumpets....

You generally shave it enough that you can put the mute in and be able to close your plunger over the bell.

Thanks SB.

Seems that I need to shave a tiny bit more of the corks.

Then I have to call the hairdresser to order time for a trumpet hair cut..
