What does everyone use to transport mutes when they will not fit in your case? |

I use a small document case. Bit like a computer bag but a lot thicker. Holds music, trumpet stand, music stand, iPad Pro, stand light and mute holders. Plus all the other stuff, oil, glasses etc. I use a Torpedo bag for my trumpet, so,no space for mutes. _________________ "Nearly as good as I need to be. Not nearly as good as I want to be".

I carry a lot of mutes so I use a plumber's tool bag I bought at Home Depot. Holds mutes plus oil, tuner, stand light and opens wide so I can find stuff easily. They're cheap. _________________ Jim Hatfield

I have used one of the small protec mute bags. I've always been able fit my mutes needed for a rehearsal or performance. Others will sometimes transport them individually in those blue Crown Royal bags. |

When I bought the Torpedo, it came with a mutebag. And immediately I realised that I had a problem when I need mutes. Because the torpedo itself is the most protective case I ever had, but this nylon mutebag is almost a joke. Doesn't protect anything.
However: I never travel by public transport and in my car I can put it pretty solid.
Then the only thing is, that I have to be careful that I don't slam the mutebag against doors, chairs, humans, ect... _________________ Olds Recording '66

I also use the small Protec bag. It won't hold your entire arsenal of mutes, but neither will an SUV smaller than a Ford Excursion . For normal performing once one has decided which mute to use it should be adequate. |

I use the protec trombone mute bag. It holds a lot, but protection for the mutes is lacking. |

I use the contoured ProTec trumpet case, which has no room for mutes. When I just need my horn, I use the ProTec trumpet mute bag.

For gigs where I need to bring other equipment, I use the ProTec trombone mute bag, which has room for mutes and accessories (android tablet, music stand, mic, cables, etc.).

I also use a soft-sided tool bag. It has a metal frame around the top that stays wide open when in use. It's fairly bullet-proof, and holds extra stuff like water bottles, stand light, lunch, etc. _________________ New Album "ensemble | in situ" on Bandcamp

Save yourself a ton of money. go to home depot ask for the tool bags. See the amazing assortment in all shapes and sizes, for 1/4 the price of a so-called mutebags, and most at a much higher quality level. _________________ "Music is like candy, you throw the (w)rappers away." |

This.
Case in point is http://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-12-in-Tool-Bag-82004N11/203224030
$10 and you're all set. Or if you want something bigger to hold more accessories or an extra-large assortment of mutes, you can spend a whopping $20 and go with http://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-14-in-Large-Mouth-Bag-71787-2N09/202018007
That's big enough to stand your mutes up in it so you can just set it next to your chair and keep the mutes in the bag. As lakejw said, it's got room for other stuff too. |

Hi
I use the ProTec Trombone mute bag too.
I find this a great size bag, that will hold a music folder, fold-up music stand, a couple of trumpets stands, a full set of mutes and water in the main bag, with smaller accessories (small battery operated music light, mouthpiece pouch, band tie, stationary, pegs, spare glasses etc.) in the large side pocket.
All the best

Following some recommendations on TH, I went to Home Depot and bought a tool bag. I also throw in all the other stuff: trumpet stands, mute rack, etc. Works great, and not too expensive. _________________ Bb Yamaha Xeno 8335IIS

I use the mute bag that came with my torpedo case, even if I'm not using that case in particular at the time. _________________ Matthew Porter
