Successful modifications to a Denis Wick practice mute. Although I have moved on to a much better practice mute I still had this mute laying about unused so I thought I would try to improve it to make it useable. Very happy with the results. More natural sound, more even response, more even resistance - all by drilling a new hole (3/8" diameter) in the center of the bowl, taping a 2 3/8" long soda straw (big kind for shakes and malts) inside that new hole, and putting tape over the other two existing holes. Still photo in previous post shows more detail of the modification. #trombone #tenortrombone #practicemute #trombonepractice #trombonepracticemute #trombonemute #mod #mods #modification #music #orchestra #demo #howto
