[Trombone-l] Bucket Mutes

[Wayne Dyess]

 From the player's side, I've been there--done that; got the t-shirt.  
But from the listener's and conductor's side -- give me the real bucket 
sound every time.  Playing in the stand doesn't come close!!!

Next chapter:  same brand of buckets for good blend.

Wayne
