Great selection! love using harmons to put a twist on old standards from Lee Morgan and others. Do you find that mutes sometimes impact tuning? Like would it be necessary to retune after putting a mute on?
Great comments and a great question. If a normal mute, like a Wah-wah puts a trumpet slightly out of tune - it probably is NOT fitting properly in the bell. It may be too far in or not in far enough, but a good mute should NOT alter intonation. That's one benefit of cork; it can be sanded for a better fit. If you google ' mute intonation trumpetherald ' you should find several threads that address this. AGain - great question! :)
I do mention Yamaha's Silent Brass at one point, I believe (This video was 30 minutes - I think I addressed EVERYTHING. Sorry - I went a bit too long. :) ). Yamaha's Silent Brass is probably, almost certainly, the most quiet practice mute; but with that quietness comes a lot of back-pressure. When I used all the cords and wires to hear myself through earbuds, the back pressure wasn't quite as hard on me - but it's a pain to have two cords connecting you to a mute. I had a new Z horn, was checking out a couple of new mouthpieces, the Silent mute - and I really messed my lips up; so badly that it frightened me. :) For that reason, I prefer the Wallace mute which I demo in this video; it's close to the quietness of Yamaha's Silent mute - but less back pressure. Here's a video where I demo Yamaha's Silent mute... ruclips.net/video/iqjvqiHkZ5s/видео.html
