Ideal mute for Miraphone Bel Canto

[FatCat]

Hi all,

I would like to invest in a mute for my Miraphone Bel Canto. I need something that will work well within the orchestra.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

Try the smaller size H&B aluminum spun mute first.

Thanks Bloke Are you referring to the 206?

I have both sizes here of the H&B here. If you want to give me some bell measurements, I can see which one of my horns the Bel canto is more similar to, and test the mutes with those

That would be great if you could test both.

The bell diameter is 420mm.

Sorry for the confusion. Does this just mean that I should measure the diameter at a few different points?
