[Trombone-l] Plunger Mute question...

[Ray Horton]

A Jolly Ball (dog toy - buy it at Pet Smart), cut in half, makes two trb 
plungers - one with a handle, one without. 


Available in several sizes - Blue for tenor, Red for bass.  Tenor so-so, 
maybe not any better than bathroom, but worth a try.  Red for bass is 
_great_ - can roar like never before.
