Hi.
Can anyone recommend a practice mute to fit a standard 9 1/2 inch Bass Trombone bell ?
I have invested in 2 practice mutes in the past spending about £70 - £80 on each and, although advertised as Bass Trombone mutes, they just don't fit and can easily be blown out. ( I can't believe my airstream is that over-powered!)
I reverted to the Sellers (Wallace and Rath) and was assured they should fit and that I should maybe make the grips slightly rougher by sanding them but surely I shouldn't have to do that or forcibly screw the mute in damaging it and the Bell!
I can't believe I am the only one with this issue.
I have donated the 2 I have to the tenor trombones in my Band and they fit them perfectly.
Any comments and recommendations gratefully received.
