He needed one and that was what I had. Plus, Clark Terry uses the trombone  
size. With the hole cut, you can completely cover the bell, and get a  
really loud (comparitively) harmon type sound. In a Clark terry clinic, he  
told us that that was what they used in Duke's band, instead of harmons,  
when he was there.
