Straight Mute for EBC836

Post by danielhorn »

Well, I never thought the time would come but here I am. I'm in the market for a straight mute that would work with my Eastman EBC836 tuba (6/4 york style CC tuba). If anyone knows where I might be able to find one, along with a travel bag, it would be much appreciated. https://www.eastmanwinds.com/ebc836 <- info on the tuba

Balu for the mute. Or Schlipfinger.
These are the best I've used by a margin.
(but not on the Eastman...)

Balu XL. They work great and play in tune. Expensive, but worth it.

FAXX makes a spun aluminum mute for the 6/4 crowd. Have your local dealer contact American Way Marketing in Elkhart, Indiana to order one. Very well designed.
