[Trombone-l] Plunger Mute question...

[Ray Horton]

Correction to my earlier post - the Jolly Ball "Tug-n-Toss" are not so 
totally color coded.


My bass plunger is from the 8-inch model for large dogs.  I think the 
6-inch model is the one for tenors.  There is a smaller one some trumpet 
players use. Tuba players could try the 10" or 14" inch sizes (although 
the 14" is a different type of ball, don't know if it is the same inside).
