There is a large bore in the one I have. Having a large bell and a King 4B is what I am playing. In my experience, it is the most versatile mute you can get as long as you don't need to carry around a bunch of mutes.

Reviews that say this is a mute must be used for only special pieces do not make any sense to me. A muted trombone has never sounded better than this! Those bells, as well as King 2B bells, will fit just fine. A 1/3rd of a half step brings the pitch closer to perfect A tone of this nature requires a step, but that is the nature of the physics. Except for the F below the staff in sixth position which is weak, all the other tones are solid. There is a lot of wind blowing. However, these H's are so ridiculous It's ugly to be a B mutes! With its Frankenstein rivets, scalloped edges, and clown-like face, this is one of a kind I painted my walls red. They looked much classier when the original Shastock solotone mute was designed, but sadly, the Big Bands ended up using them instead. The Solotone Trombone mutes made by Emo look great (plastic or aluminum), but cost twice as much and sell mainly in Europe, and I have no idea what they sound like. In this article you will learn about It is a world of its own when you use the B Cleartone mute. * * *Updates I just wanted to let you know To compare the Clear Tone with a vintage Shastock Solotone Mute, I picked up a vintage Shastock Solotone Mute. There is a 3/4" length difference on the narrow part (same opening width) and 1/4" difference on the wide part, which is 1/4" narrower than the narrow part. A number of A/B tests have not shown a difference in the tone of the call or the efficiency of the call. As each pitch raises, so does the other. The difference on loud, the difference on soft, the difference on low, the difference on high is nonexistent. Now you do not have to worry about whether or not you are getting "the real deal" with Clear Tone. I think it's da kine. I only have one negative note to say about Solotone. In my opinion, it is.
This is especially true for A mute such as this is very useful. We were all very pleased with how the Cleartone mute sounded with the band. If you are aspiring to be a big band trombone player, I highly recommend having a Cleartone (I always called it a Solotone) mute in your.
I enjoyed the service I received from the A brush can be used to roughly roughen up the cork, and wet it if necessary to prevent it from falling out when you play.
Made by H&R, this clear tone mute permits a quieter operating environment It is an excellent choice and an absolute must-have for pit work. Initially, it may take a few days to get the corks used to your bone, but after that, insertion should be no I highly recommend this product!.
A good period jazz mute should be in your bag if you play a lot of gigs in this style. Taking a big position in stock There are many band charts that call for a solo tone A mute that has audio of "Song of India" and similar songs is OK in quality. Tuning slides are readily available just grab a couple and get started.
I don't have much more In other words, it is just what we should expect. Exactly what should be produced is produced by this device. Other people have commented on how fragile this type of mute can be, but honestly, you shouldn't be throwing it around a lot. The item was in perfect condition, and it arrived within a short timeframe.
My jazz band plays in a 1920s jazz band, so I think this would look great with it. I kind of feel like this is a more open cup mute from the player. Mids can be heard at both ends of the audience.
The mute I used for one show was not the most widely used one out there, but it was SO MUCH FUN! I really like the way it fits in the bell and the sound is.
