 Posted: Mon Dec 24, 2012 1:43 pm Post subject: H&B Adjustable Cup Mute |
 |
|
The last time I tried one of these it was way too big and too heavy. Diameter was pretty large.
Thought I would try again; the newer version fits a normal bell better and it's a lot less heavy. Along with the newer version of their bubble mute, I think they are viable alternatives.
I've tried to email them with questions but they don't seem to care too much. Their Facebook page is all about drum cases? Whatever.
It's worth a look if you're interested in an adjustable cup mute.

Curious why you would ask a question like that, since others costs so much less?

No more than the Wick mute. People like alternatives.

Didn't you realize that I quoted you (paraphrased) you from the Monette mouthpiece thread?

By the way, there's another alternative: the Wallace adjustable cup mute. They sell a kit with two different shaped cups, and it is the most in tune mute I have ever tried. Not cheap, but worth all the money it costs.

I was wondering why your posting made no sense. Whatever point you wanted to make is completely lost on me, so whatever, dude.
Merry Christmas.
