re: [Hornlist] Quel Sourdine?

I don't have a straight mute from Ion Balu, but I do have a practice
mute from him and the finish is flawless.
Of course the Kowalchuk mute is nicely priced for a handmade mute,
but it seems that either maker is giving you a good deal pricewise 
compared to the Lewis mutes which sell for $140. 
Any word on how the sound compares?

[Hornlist] Quel Sourdine?

[William Foss]

I am in the process of working on a piece called 'Villanelle' by Paul Dukas. 
There is a part of the piece that requires a straight mute; I don't have one 
and I would like to get everyone's opinion about the best kind of mute (in 
terms of quality, price, intonation problems, etc.). I don't really want to 
get a mute that is too expensive, but  I would like to have a mute that will 
last for years and years.  This isn't a rush situation, because I am going 
to perform this piece for college scholarship auditions next winter and at 
at Solo and Ensemble contest in the spring.

Thanks for all your help
William Foss

I like the Wallace Collection straight mute - in UK it's avalable from  
Paxmans.
When I have a bit of spare cash I'll buy a John Kowalchuk (can't spell  
it!!!) mute - I believe they are terrific and not expensive.
All the best,
