I’ve got 3 upcoming performances asking for muted tuba. I don’t have a mute. I also don’t want to spend $400-600 on one.
Size- don’t care. I can use my big C or my F. If you’re trying to offload a tuba mute, shoot me a message.
From what I understand the Balu mutes have the ability to fit multiple horns. That seems pretty cool to me.
Watcha got?
Weird ask… I need a mute!

Where are you located? If you're near Ohio I'd be happy to lend you one of mine.

In a pinch, it doesn’t seem that unreasonable that one could be made with cork (automotive parts store) corrugated heavy paper (cardboard boxes), construction paper, glue, and black spray paint.

Re: Weird ask… I need a mute!
I read somewhere once it’s possible to make a serviceable one out of a KFC chicken bucket. IIRC, you glue wine bottle corks cut to shape in the appropriate places and line the interior of the bucket with 1/2 inch or so of patching cement, for that Humes-Berg “Stone-Lined” sound.

I second the question, but replace northeast (us) for Ohio.tylerferris1213 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 22, 2023 12:55 pm Where are you located? If you're near Ohio I'd be happy to lend you one of mine.
I also enquire after dates of said performances?
Oh, and please relay the success of KFC bucket, if you got that route?.
I heard tell of a BSO musician who asked roofers to fashion one using their roofing material as well?
