[Trombone-l] mutes

[David W. Buckley]

Our community orchestra, Symphony Hamilton, is playing Casablanca Suite 
arranged by I know not who since the name is not on my copy. Twice he or she 
calls for a Felt Crown which I have never heard of. The point to a certain 
extent is moot since in one of the passages it is impossible to remove the 
mute unless you can convince the conductor to take a break before the next 
section. In rehearsal we ignored it. The conductor seemed unaware and it 
didn't seem to affect the music but I am curious as to what type of mute was 
intended.

Dave Buckley.
