Mutes

wiseone2 · 06-24-2008, 11:20 AM

I don't really know how many I have

I am working on a piece written by Ulysses Kay that calls for a solo-tone and a straight mute in one of the movements. My Shastock solo-tone is much, much better than the Humes and Berg mutes I have. You can go nuts with straight mutes, they all seem to have some positive qualities.

You can never have too many mutes!

My mute collection is around 90 and constantly growing! Wilmer, have you tried the Walt Johnson solo-tone? I believe that he calls it the "Gatsby mute". Apparently Rod Baltimore carries them. I have a friend who just bought the Harmon and LOVES it!

Awesome! Let us know how the Johnson mutes play. I am really considering just buying them all, if for nothing else to add to the collection! The solo-tone and insertable bucket sound really awesome!

I have the Jo-Ral bucket mute and two H&B buckets. I am always on the lookout for goodies.

Me too! I have the H&B, E-Z Bucket, Sof-T Mute, Joral and a Satellite mute, Goodies are wonderful!

I am the owner of a Gatsby mute, they still have a few at Rod Baltimore's shop. It is a much more in-tune mute than my Shastock solotone mute.

I just bought a Gatsby mute too, it is pretty good! Doesn't quite sound the same as the Stonelined, but it is much more fun to play.
