Joey Pero is a young trumpet phenom I really admire.

He will be using my mute at the International Trumpet Guild meeting in Australia on the Arutunian Trumpet Concerto.

I am thrilled. He could play any equipment he likes. Plays a Monette trumpet Wynton Marsalis gave him. And he is using MY mute.

Cloud nine feels pretty good.

@bandgeek097 I recorded this on a G3 MacBook several years ago. I know the quality of the video isn't very good. But I don't understand your use of the word "birdhouse".

Current models have no beverage logo and are not as long.

And the tab on the plastic cup has been removed.

I really like the sound. It has a tone all it's own. Great idea.
