velvet tone mute

Post by peter birch »

one of my trombone playing friends uses a "velvettone" mute occaisionally, ofyten to good effect. It produces a different sound to either a cup mute or a straight mute.
Is there such a mute out there for a 475mm bell tuba?

What a deal!! I'll take one of each. Free shipping I assume :lol:

Now, is this shipping charge per item, or for your entire order?
