Hello all, I am looking to buy a mute for my horn around $50 dollars. If you have one you would be willing to part with let me know.

I have an original Miraphone mute from the 1970s, wood straight mute designed for the 186. It actually plays in tune in these horns, and the sound is decent. It doesn't fit the horns I use now. It is 9" diameter at the top, tapers to 2-1/4" in its 25-1/4" length. $50 would be fine. I am in the Baltimore area, or could ship.

I have a 1967 186 with the smaller bell that your mute should fit well. See your PM.
