A nice concept, and I tried an older version a friend had, and it seemed to work fine

This one, however, seems to be made of heavier double-faced neoprene (nice colors, friends was all-black), and the partials above F in the upper range are flat when trying to use the mute as a pseudo bucket mute (which was why I bought it).The flatting quickly becomes serious, High Bflat is practically unplayable

I can't find a "lighter" version, or I would love to exchange it for the one my friend let me try.

So, Is it a soft passage mute or a practice mute

This mute is a funny hybrid, and while it does not have the best tone of my mutes, it does a few things extremely well

It is not as quiet as the Bremmer Sssh mute, but again, it fits in my case, so it sees more use than my Bremmer

If you want a versatile mute that will always be in your case, this is a good pick.

I'd get more subdued colors next time... but the orchestra isn't very good, anyway, so it doesn't make much difference!
