Hi Josh. I like the sound of these, tho I agree that #1 is the best from a sound point of view. I love the historical info you give sometimes. (Your Harmon video comes to mind too.) I try to know as much as I can about the ones I've managed to add to my own collection. BTW, I really appreciate your comments about how all of the mutes you examine blow. It's one thing to hear them but quite another to understand what it feels like to play them. Great insights. Keep up the wonderful work!
Thank you, Steve!! 🙏🙏
It’s very much appreciated to hear feedback like yours after doing one of these in depth videos.
What are some of your favorite mutes that you’ve got in your collection?
@@JoshRzepkaMusic I’m a Shastock fan, and have a couple Solotones, 3 TonalColors (one old style, one newer, and one someone customized that clamps to the mute even better), as well as several straights, including the one for cornet and the pixie. I also have several Whispas . I’m kinda known in my community band as the mute guy, and one of the other trumpet players just gave me his Solotone, TonalColor, and Whispa. I wanted to be sure he knew they were valuable, but he didn’t seem to care. He was cleaning things out, giving other things away as well, but he knew I’d appreciate the mutes. I refurbed and gave away a TonalColor at Christmas time too. I also purchased a real Harmon for the first time. I have several Harmon style mutes, one going back to my high school trumpet teacher 6 decades ago, who insisted I send away to Lockies Music in LA for it. I think they used to make Benges in a shop in the back. Being a Chicago player, you might have heard of him: George Bean. Anyway, I’m now the owner of an older copper Harmon that’s pretty cool, in part to your Harmon comparison video. I think I have somewhere around 50 mutes. 😀
@@BariRMe Hi Steve, you have a great collection! Thanks for sharing. I'm also enjoying this series.
@@JoshRzepkaMusic Hi Josh, great job! I love the historical info and provenance is always a trip. Literally!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, your experience, and your playing. Much appreciated.
BTW I love the address on these mutes. 432. A great frequency!
Great infos !!!!
First is the best for me.
Thanks for checking out the video! Yeah, definitely the first!
Way cool! Thanks for hipping me (us) to these.
For sure, thanks for watching! I wouldn't have been surprised if you had one or two of these. I imagine there are a handful of them still floating around New York City.
Great episode. As usual!
Thanks, Nando!!
This episode has some great history. Loved it!
Wow impressive research Josh! Learned a ton
Thanks! 🎺🎺
I love the back stories. This series is educational & fascinating!
Wow 😳🔥
Oh yeah 🎺🎺
If anyone wants one of these, I have two S. Florio mutes for sale.
Wow - that's awesome. Can you send me some photos/info?
Be happy to. Is there an email address I could send images to, or should I just post images here? I believe I have several other vintage mutes as well, but only 2 from S. Florio.
