|

Can anyone recommend a multiple mute holder?
I mean, the kind that attaches to the music stand and makes getting the mute quick and easy. _________________ Michael Greenberg

Ed and Tim, thank you.
Wow, looks great, and with recommendations from pros like you, it's tempting. However, I'm not sure:
1. Price and that's before adding the overseas shipping cost. He may ship US only. I won't ask until I decide yes or no.
2. Not sure if this would clamp on to the flimsy metal music stands we use in our band. _________________ Michael Greenberg

If the stand is too flimsy for the mute rack, there's probably not a chance it would hold the mutes either. Another option for this particular one is clamping it to your chair.
I love mine and believe they are well worth the price of admission. Take advantage of our weak dollar and buy it already!

The Jo-Ral mute holder works ok for three mutes and will clamp to a portable stand, if you can find one closeby.

When I played in a big band with the traditional big band box type stands, I used a Hamilton trumpet stand and clamped my mute holder on to it, and it worked great! I am sure Steve would ship to you in Israel, if not, I can sell you mine.

Does anyone here have actual experience with the Hercules HA100 mute holder? Does it work, hold up, etc.? Pros and cons? Thanks. _________________ HERMOKIWI |

I would never recommend using a mute holder on a flimsy folding music stand. Those stands are easy enough to knock over as they are. Adding holders/mutes just makes it easier to knock over. If anything I'd go with an individual mute holder. I do a lot of musical theater and am in the habit of choreographing the mute changes so one holder is sufficient from most gigs. Far better would be to buy a heavy folding music stand that will accomodate one of the mute racks already mentioned. _________________ "I'm an engineer, which means I think I know a whole bunch of stuff I really don't."

The one that sells on Horntrader looks good but $60+ is really steep! |

The Manhassett trumpet mute-holder got 2 lukewarm reviews on Amazon.
The price for the Trombone one on ebay isn't bad - $21 including shipping.
I'll think about it. Thanks. _________________ Michael Greenberg

Totally agree that the trombone version works better for most trumpet mutes. My only gripe is that it doesn't always stay well attached to thin metal music stands. _________________ "I'm an engineer, which means I think I know a whole bunch of stuff I really don't."

I've been using this Trumpeter’s Silent Mute Tray for a couple years now, and I absolutely love it.
I've tried the others and they are nowhere near as good as this is.
Now, I only use it for cup, straight, plunger and harmon. If I need to use a bucket I am able to use it with my plunger hanging on the corner of my stand.
Here's the actual page for ordering.
When I got it I paid less than he's asking now . . . c'est la vie! _________________ Puttin’ On The Ritz |
