Australian Concert Bands

I use Denis Wick straight and cup, but a Jo Ral "bubble" (wah, wah).
I am thinking about buying a Jo Ral copper bottom straight, but I think the DW is more versatile.

As a trumpeteer i have a range of mutes

Straight, Cup, Harmon, Plunger, Practice etc

They are all Dennis Wick, except my Harmon which is a stone lined copper one (i think - would have to go and check). Anyways, its bloody heavy, and sounds great!

btw - the plunger isnt a branded mute...literally a dunny plunger i bought from Bunnings!

I have a straight & a cup Humes & Berg for the tenor trom,& a Jo Ral combination (straight & cup) for bass trom.

The band has Wick combination for the cornets & tenor troms (no mute at all for the bass, usually uses mine!)

Ahh... the good ol' dunny plunger, is there anything they can't be used for? No, hang on, don't answer that!

LOLOL

Well, i bought it cause we have an arrangement called Chicago Medly, and it has the great jazz trumpet start. But i found that it sounds a lot better on a stone lined harmon instead of the plunger!
