Hi all!

Got a question I hope someone can help me with. I'm doing an orchestra mock-up for a local theater production. The score calls for a Solotone mute on the Tbone. But all I have on my Sample Modeling Trombone is a Straight mute, a Cup mute, a Harmon mute, a Bucket mute, and a Plunger. I'm not familiar enough with the sound of the Solotone to make a good judgement on what would be the best substitute. On the one hand, I know the Solotone is a long straight mute, so subbing a normal straight mute seems to make sense, but it's also an older mute, so maybe I should go with the Cup mute for a sub?

What do you all think?

Thanks!
Kevin

I would say straight mute and maybe a touch of eq to tweak the sound more If necessary. Wikipedia references Dorseys Song of India, maybe check that out. Otherwise, I'm betting straight mute will do the trick.

Cool. I'll do that. Thanks Mazz!
