nice commercial! I've heard these mutes in many different situations now and I must say that they do sound really great. I especially like the adjustable bucket mute. It's really nice to experiment a bit with it till you get the sound you're looking for. This together with the low weight of the mutes and easy playing in all registers makes this set a great addition to the existing mutes!!
I was a bit leery of what the straight mute would sound like. I'm used to metal straight mutes that provide that nice tinny resonating sound that increases with volume.
The wooden mute somehow manages to achieve the same thing.
The cup mute sounds very nice! The bucket sounds nice as well. The straight mute sounds too open for my personal taste, but I can see how its free-blowing nature would benefit an orchestral player. Are the mutes very heavy?
Wow, really liked Shadow of Your Smile with the bucket. Just great.

Hi my friend,
thanks for the nice words. About the weight of the mutes. They are very light. More light then any mute I have tried.
Greetings,
Ben
