Hey TH - I'm excited about this vid as it took me years to find this mute.

Well worth the wait to have Josh Wagner restore it - he did a great job.

Anyone else have/use one of these?

Yes, Roger Ingram restored a couple for me. I've always thought that the Mel-O-Wah (both Ray Robinson and Humes & Berg) is a much underrated mute. I may be guilty of using them more than I should but I think they're great.

Nice!! I've got a few restorations from Roger - he does an incredible job!!

I agree, totally underrated. I think it's underutilized.

Josh,

How does the restored Ray Robinson Mel-O-Wah compare with the Huber Music reproduction?

Thanks!

Ben

I'm making a video (will post tomorrow) comparing the RR, H&B, and Huber all side by side.
