FS: Schlipf Practice Mute for Tuba - $275 OBO

[CodyMessersmith]

For sale I have a LIKE NEW Schlipf practice Mute. This is a handmade Mute by Johann Schlipfinger. This mute was purchased new less than a year ago for a Meinl Weston 3450. I no longer have the horn, therefore I no longer need the mute. It was used less than 10 times since owning it. This particular mute is sized for a bass tuba or small contrabass tuba. The mute was purchased new for $300, I am asking $275 OBO, plus shipping.

In the photos there is a list of horns that this No. 4 Schlipf mute will fit, direct from the US retailer of Schlipf Mutes.

$275.00 OBO - Located in York, PA

What the internet has to say about it:
The Schlipf Practice Mute is designed to properly fit your tuba when the top of the mute is less than 1/2″ above the bell rim, so the mute can be left in the bell of the instrument in the hard case or gig bag, and will actually provide protection for the bell in transit, as well as making it more convenient to carry. From top-to-bottom, this is the most intelligently-designed practice mute I’ve ever seen. The real muting capabilities, combined with the intonation and response offered by this mute is why an increasing number of professional and serious amateur players are turning to the Schlipf mute. If you live in an apartment, or ever need to practice in a hotel, or warm-up backstage, this mute is for you!
