I live in an apartment with a nosey, constantly-complaining-about-everything harpy living below me, therefore I must mute all my practice sessions except those that (rarely) occur when she is gone for a few hours; thus the mute question.
I still haven't received my C/B-flat euph from Wessex (tired of waiting) so I bought, locally, a well used but sweet-sounding vintage Olds baritone to hold me over. I intend to use the future new euphonium in TC using the B-flat slide and in bass clef using the C slide (using CC tuba fingerings). I did play trumpet/cornet in several years of Summer band, ages ago, so I pretty much know the TC fingerings but very much need the practice--thus the baritone.
The bell of this baritone is not adjustable and faces forward with a curve. I need to buy an inexpensive practice mute for this instrument and can't figure out if the currently advertised baritone/euphonium mutes will fit a curved-before-exit bell.
Any help on this one?
