...and take up 200% of the space.  Space was listed as an issue in the
initial post.

I play trombone for a living and own tons of mutes.  at least three
different straights and cups, just for tenor, plus all the
bucket/solotone/harmon(bubble with stem), etc.  I hardly ever use any
of them.  Some of that is a function of the kind of work I do, but
still.

>From what Stan described as his priorities, that harmon brand combo
mute will be fine.  He knows there are better sounding options out
there if he feels the need.  It doesn't sound like he has the need
though.
