Anyone have good experience with finding a suitable straight mute for an F cimbasso? Bell is slightly larger than the large bass bones such as the Bach 50. Being essential a tubaist, the whole world of a trombone/contrabass trombone is new to me. BTW the cimbasso experience has been an incredible journey, and uses for it are not that hard to find.

Wallace makes a straight mute for Contrabass Trombone which should fit. Likewise Voigt makes both practice and straight mutes for cimbasso/"double bass" trombone. I personally use a baritone practice mute which requires a little extra cork (foam actually) to fit properly but works quite well considering it cost what the shipping was going to be on the Voigt.

Johan Schlipf has made me a Straight/Cup mute that works really well, you might want to contact him, I'm not sure if it's in regular production yet...

I have had excellent success with the Humes & Berg "baritone" mute. It has served me very, very well on multiple instruments for a pittance of cost.

It's too small for any modern Euph, but is a dynamo on Cimbassi.

I think they are designed for the "English" bore baritones.

Nope... It's too big for those

I'm using a Denis Wick Baritone Mute and it works great. I had to add another layer to the corks to get the right amount and then shaved down until I got exactly the right response and intonation. Stephen Wick was particularly helpful in getting me the exact right corks and answering questions about the mute.

BTW - Where does one find a need for a cimbasso mute?
