Sounding good! My harmon gets a little neglected unless we're doing swing numbers at band. Did you do any alterations to it to get it to fit better?

It's a funny story. I bought it in a clearance sale when Vincent Bach International were being reorganised. I got an email to say they couldn't find it and we're sending me a refund, got home to find it at my house. I took the cork off and replaced it with 2mm neoprene foam. It grips a lot better.

I had a similar thing happen with Thomann. Over the pandemic I briefly played tenor horn to make up numbers and needed a mouthpiece. I bought one but they informed me the order got lost and refunded me only for it to show up about 48 hours later. I have a Denis Wick harmon. It blew off my mute stand at a windy gig and the stem doesn't fit well anymore. I usually play it without the stem anyway but it's kind of unfortunate.

@@musicalcubes I have a Wick one too. Its actually a pretty good mute. The Harmon brand one gives a deeper sound but it doesn't cut as much and it doesn't sound as tinny with the stem in, which could be a problem for brass bands as they need it to cut through more.

The standard brass band setup for mutes in my area is Wick for straight & harmon, Humes & Berg for cup. You see some different ones here and there, but mostly everyone plays the same. Some of my bandmates have switched to the Wick adjustable cup with good results so I'm looking to get one of those soon.
