Hi,

That's a beautiful video. Thank you.

About intonation, would you say that as a professional, you lip automatically to reach the correct pitch ?

My Yamaha silent brass is way out of tune than yours.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video!

I was trying to play in tune (I always try and play any mute in tune, as that's how I'll be using it), some of these definitely were a little more challenging. My barometer is if they can be played in tune, as every mute, and even trumpet, ends up being somewhat of a compromise. Some mutes no matter what you do, they will never play in tune.

The two smallest ones (Mutec/Faxx) needed to be lipped the most for the higher notes. I had to pull and slide out a fair amount for all of them, I believe for the Wallace mute I had to pull it out the most.
