Help - can anyone give me any tips on putting bass mutes in and taking them out again?
It seems to take me ages - I have difficuty in reaching and usually make a load clanking sound.
I have not had to use one before but we have just purchased a set of Denis Wick mutes ready for Tristan Encounters.
It seems impossible - there is only a bar and a half to put the mute in, with a split chord before so you both have to play it. There are then only 9 notes to play muted and 2 bars to take the mute out again.
I just seems as if it has been specially written to make life difficult
Any tips much appreciated
