Homemade 4/4-5/4 tuba mute FS in Nashville just $20

[MartyNeilan]

I don't want to ship and will only sell locally. This is a well constructed lightweight homemade tuba mute that I made a couple years ago. It is too big for my son's 12J and a little too small for my 6/4 BART. The corks are 1 3/8" thick and can easily be reduced or cut to fine tune the size of the mute. The mute measures 21 1/4" tall. The top has a diameter of 8 1/2" and the bottom 5 1/4" not including the corks. The mute is made of thick Strathmore 500 illustration board, is assembled with wood glue, and has several coats of white paint to prevent damage from water (at least that's what we tubists like to call it.) The top is two layers with a coat of glue in between to prevent sympathetic vibrations I encountered on a previous mute project. I even have a few leftover pieces I can include. This mute is lightweight and durable but does not fit any horns I currently own and is taking up valued closet space. $20 cash and it is yours, but local pickup in Nashville/Hermitage TN at my home or place of employment. I will not drive to Tuba City AZ to meet you halfway.

Bump. You KNOW you need it for that December concert that required three notes muted.

There are no leaks, what looks like gaps are just bubbles in the spraypaint.

Marty, save it for the 4th of July and use it as a fire works launcher. Better yet, just launch the whole mute. It would be perfect.

Bump. There is that one measure coming up in your Spring rep that will need it.

I would rather not ship; stop by and give me a $20, pet the cats, try BART if it is together, and leave Nashville with much happy.
