Michelle Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 My F Horn straight mute fits in a mello bell pretty snuggly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contreuph Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 A good mute for mellophone is not playing Trombone mutes work though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctbari Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Trombone mute will fit, however they are bigger and therefore quite a bit heavier than a trumpet mute. It really throws the balance of the mellophone off, with all the weight being so far out in front. I found, for me, it is much better to wrap a sock around the base of a trumpet mute. It fits very well and I don't have to worry about scratches. I often play late at night when everyone else is asleep, and a Silent Brass trumpet mute (with sock), doesn't bother anyone.

Latrobe's Finest Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 Thanks for everyone's help. I was able to snag a french horn mute from my corps director. It's not the best arrangement, but it's better than nothing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
