If your conductor is considerate, he'd tell you to not to take the mute. You could try my pizza box mute--get a pizza sent to your hotel room the night before and save the box for a mute. (Of course, you don't really want to do this!)DaTubaKid wrote:Britten's Young Persons Guide to the Orchestra calls for tuba mute in the harp solo section. One note only, and it was a Db, if I recall correctly. What a joy to take on tour.
