What's special about them? Can you just cut some strips from a sheet of cork?

I'd like to buy them from you, pay for postage, and pay for your packing job.

Joe-
Instead of glueing extra cork on your 206 mute--which you use for your Symphonie F--another way is to use Velcro strips on the extra cork.....use the extra corked mute for the new horn, and just remove the velcro cork when going back to the Symphonie F...
