Hi Carlberg, Do you have any general guidelines for how to adjust a mute? What happens to the pitch/tone if I sand down the corks? I'm afraid to shave the corks too far. -- Bruce Kelley in Redmond, WA

The low range is especially easy to project. As with other mutes, fine tuning of the sound and pitch can be done by filing or sanding the corks as well as with the internal tuning mechanism.
