Hi,
It is time to find a new straight mute. While working in the low register
with my old Aulos, I discovered a bad note that just didn't sound. Trying a
similarly shaped Trumcor yielded a similar result. I can guess that a full
cone Rittich style Trumcor or other make would not have the same issue.
I have tried a mute by Dick Lang and was impressed but have not found a web
presence yet.
I will also consider other makers, including Kowalchuk, Balu, Engemann,
Denis Wick, etc.
So... Any advice on:
If I tried one mute by a maker and liked it, is that good enough to just
trust mail-order for my own, or do I need to try the specific mute before
purchase?
Are there makers who will let you try before you buy?
Where can I find a Dick Lang mute?
Thanks,
Steve
