Mutes

I received a new one yesterday. I am the proud owner of a Sotto Voce straight mute. It will be my new quiet mute. I had been using the black Bach plastic mute, it will get a rest. The Sotto Voce fits my horns, even my favorite little Bach 304 Eb/D trumpet. It is in-tune, blows easy and sounds teriffic.

Yes, it is made by Dave. I am using it as a practice mute also.

Sotto Voce Mute

Received mine just the other day. Only had a chance to use it for a moment or two so far. Seems good. Only objection is Why GREEN?

It could be green so it stands out on your mute shelf or in your mute bag for easy identification. That is the only thing I can think of. LOL.

Pride? Not really, just something I was sharing - I have had a few people ask whether they can try it, due to me posting that I have one on some of the assorted forums.
Whether I bring it up in "every conversation" is something I will leave to your wildest fantasies. I would be surprised if it has been mentioned as much as you think. If by "every conversation" you mean every post I have made on TM, TH, B-F and others - go and read them ALL - see how many times it comes up. If not many, next time how about making a constructive post, rather than a chance for a cheap shot?

I, too, really love the Sotto Voce mute. It will get lots of use by me. I have to show it to John Frosk, his Flugel is the same shade of green

Sotto Voce Mute

Have had a chance to use it a few times over the last week or so. Plays well in tune and is resonably open. Must be careful not to push into the bell too far or back pressure builds up.

Only objection is the green color but that is entirely personal.

My mother (bless her soul) bought me a GREEN Easter suit when I was in the 8th grade and I think I was traumatized. I have no green clothing whatsoever in my closet and if I could change the world, paper money would be a different color as well.


I guess I will have to get over having a green mute.
