 |
|
Hi,
Can anyone provide the weight of a Curry Monster Sleeve?
I'm thinking about using one as a counterweight on a soprano trombone and would like to build a mock-up to determine if the weight would be sufficient. I don't find any specs on the web site. I'm assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that it's the heaviest of the sleeves. I would be using it with a Curry standard 5C.
Thanks!

I have one in hand.. but no method to give you an accurate weight.. = in my hand it feels slightly heavier than one standard mouthpiece (Curry), definitely less than two.

That's very helpful. Thank you so much! I decided to order one rather than mess around with a mock up. The horn is very light, but front-heavy enough that it's a bit uncomfortable to hold especially when muted.
Cheers!

The sleeve makes a perfect counterweight.
Thanks! |
