Cherry, Birch, Coco-bolo mutes |
Macacauba,
Burled Walnut mutes |
| |
| The idea for these two-prong
wood mutes came to me when I was debating with my colleagues the
age old question: Do you use a rubber mute or a wood mute when
playing an orchestral solo like Mahler 1 or Lt. Kije? |
| The arguments have always
been that a wood mute, while having that great projecting nasal
tone, cuts out too much volume. On the other hand, a rubber mute
doesn't cut out as much volume, but the dull tone just doesn't
project. |
| These wood mutes, which
I make out of a variety of fancy hard woods, give you the best
of both worlds. The nasal tone of a wood mute, and more volume
than a traditional three-prong wood mute. |
| Better projection, more
volume, sounds good to me. |
