Kyle, ENOUGH with the mute posts already! ;^}

Just get one, don't spend a lot of money on it since you'll never be 100% happy with it when you have to use it anyway. I seem to remember you have a piece in your ensemble that asks music so you better get one quick so you can get somewhat accustomed to the truly awful things they do to you and your horn's response. My suggestion is that you call the Tennessee Tech Music Department, ask for their tuba teacher (or one of his graduate assistants) tell them what you need and get a credit card number to them so they'll get one into your hands so you can practice with it some! One other thing you will learn is to rejoice in the fact that the sordino (devil-talk for "use a mute") is only required very seldom for tuba players. Mutes are awful, but sometimes you just gotta put up with them.

Hope this helps---Dale
