I have the DW and the Yamaha Silent Brass. The Silent Brass without the electronics is by far my preferred tool ******************* If I have to use a practice mute, then I prefer to use my Yamaha Silent Brass Mute. I can't use my Aulos practice mute because the mouthpiece keeps falling into the mute. The YSB mute has this little plastic thingie in its neck, which holds the mouthpiece in position. I suppose you could also use a stopping mute, assuming you fit the mouthpiece into the narrow end, instead of the wide end. But really, it's much better to practice on your horn, and avoid all this practice mute stuff. If you find that neighbors and room mates complain about how loudly you practice, then invest in a good set of ear plugs. I always put on ear plugs before I practice. True, I have to play louder to hear myself play, but I am no longer disturbed by people complaining about my practicing. gotta go, cabbage _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
