I love the sound of this mute and the weight.

(1) it's sturdy yet light weight

A great, light-weight, good-sounding bucket mute

This is important to a trombonist because the mute adds weight which tends to temp the right hand to help to support the front-end weight.

I really like the design and the weight - much lighter weight than I expected.

Its very light weight yet sturdy

Well, the Jo Ral feels like a lead weight pulling the bell down

I am selling my Jo Ral bucket because I have finally found a bucket mute thats constructed well, is light weight, and easy to use!
