Aluminum mute for Willson 3100/3050

Post by Jess Haney »

Hey tubadom,

What mutes have you tried with your Willson contrabass horns that are aluminum that have been able to fit in your bell? I realize I will probably be corking them a lot.

I use a Wick with my 3050. Works great. I built up the corks quite a bit.

Try to get your hands on the large metal FAXX tuba mute. It might surprise you.
