There was one review I read that said the small LefreQue added to his 2nd valve knuckle (Sterling euphonium) really helped him get the high 'B' natural to speak. That's a tough note on many euphs.

Unquestionably you can mute some overtones by simply placing the clamps ( like the ones used for marching tuba leadpipe) on the branches of your tuba. Some of them truly eliminate some unwanted vibes and it's good to experiment with those. I doubt it it makes any difference to your audience. Whatever makes you closer to your horn is great !

If they're annoying him, it's trumpeting may be generally louder...
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?
