[Trombone-l] WARM-UP WITH MUTE?

[Chris Tune]

When necessary. . .however I don't think there are really any adverse 
effects from using the Yamaha Silent Brass system.  Even though the tone 
quality and representation of attack sounds and so forth are not exact. . 
.they are close enough that nothing about them would make me want to "tense 
up" or try and change anything.  I'm not sure I'd want to say the same thing 
about an unassisted, plain sound absorbing mute (i.e. no amplification 
system).

With the plain mute, I'd try and resist using it except when there is no 
other choice.  My reasoning is that it gives you very little feedback as to 
how you really sound.  I'm pretty big on feedback (the good kind. .not the 
stuff that bad sound guys come up with!).
