Voigt Practice Mutes

Post by geneman06 »

Does anyone know of any US retailers that carry the Voigt practice mutes?

I'm currently looking for the practice mute for the chinese made travel F tuba. I would prefer to avoid purchasing from Europe and having to pay shipping etc.

Thanks,

Gene

Hi-
I bought mine directly from Voigt . I believe Jonathan, a.k.a. Neptune, carries them too.

I would love to try the other Voigt mutes, but no one- to the best of my knowledge-carries them here in the States. Hickey's does carry some of the Wallace mutes, but I don't think they have any for tuba left--might be the one place to check. Good luck.

Go figure, I used to live within (easy) driving distance of hickeys...

Jon Voight the actor or John Voight the dentist?

subtract the "H", keep the LeBaron

Has anyone tried any cheaper, easier to obtain mutes in this novelty tuba?

We subtract UK VAT for customers outside the EU and only charge $5 for shipping. Total cost US$140

US $140 does not sound that bad. What is the average travel time of a mute sized package from the UK to the USA?

You would expect to receive in about one week, maybe less

Impressive.

I feel like this is a stupid question (there are no stupid questions, just stupid people like me); Should I order the mute through the Wessex Tubas website, or in the traditional tubenet fashion?

I sent you (Neptune) an email, it's from a Microsoft Outlook account, so I'm concerned it might have gone strait to junk mail...
