Re: the "Gossick" mutes
I studied with Rex Conner at UK (1970-1974) and Dr. Ben Roger Gossick was my Acoustics professor. Rex had quite a collection of mutes that Dr. Gossick had made in the Physics lab (he also had our "Conner" mouthpieces fabricated there). Rex demonstrated the mutes to me during lessons and I recall they were heavy, well made, and interesting (to me) to handle. When Rex retired in 1980-81, the mutes went back to the Physics department.
I asked one of my UK classmates to make inquiries this past Tuesday morning. When he asked, no one seemed to know their collective/individual whereabouts, including Skip Gray.
Dr. Gossick passed away 12 November 1977.
